Shipping usually takes 4 weeks as estimate. Just FYI
Thank you for the info. Yeah, I was shocked to get an e-mail with a tracking # today and honestly I was kinda hoping they would take a little longer because I don't even have the car yet. Ha ha. I didn't get pics of the completed wheels for some reason, but I'm going to text Chet and see if he has any. Thanks again.

very nice! I did not realize you could get Aerrolarri wheels with a machined face. I did not see that finish option on their site. Great to know, given I am looking to order a set in the coming months.

Check out aerolarri Mantis style page and scroll down it shows the first set of mantis with machine edge. They came out perfect as those were mine.

Default To Aerolarri Hurricane Wheel Owners

For all those that got the Hurricane style of wheel. Are the front wheels slightly different in design than the rear? That is what the website shows. Is that an option or a requirement for those ordering this style? Thank you ahead of time. This thread has been an amazing source of information on Aerolarri wheels.

Yes, there is a small difference in the front and the rear just like you are seeing on the website. I believe it's for extra strength on the larger rear wheel.

Thank you to all who posted on this thread. I went through every post at least two times, as I decided on my choices. It was fun going on the journey of those who first posted with questions and months later posted pics of their new Aerolarri wheels. A special thank you to those of you who answered my specific questions, both on this thread and through private messages.

In the end, I chose a Thresher style, in Black Ghost Glazed Brushed, with Machined Face. I kept the original stock sizes (19/20). I am not sure at this time whether I will buy another set of tires or use the ones currently on my Carbon Flash OEM wheels. For what it is worth, it was originally between Thresher's and Futurity's; then Thresher's and Hurricane's. Thresher wins!

Nobody on here oversold Chet. His responsiveness is ridiculously quick and complete. Given I waited 15 months for my 2020 Coupe, this wait it is piece of cake! I will be happy if I get them by Labor Day...but hoping for a bit sooner.

Looks like they have landed and are on the way (at least mine are). Assume we were all on the same ship so should arrive in the next few days

I believe it was towards the end of February. This set is taking a bit longer than my 1st set that took approx 8 weeks but understood the shutdowns in China this time around. Was notified that they were ready to go May 1 and tracking shows they are now moving which means they are in states per UPS tracking

Be patient and you can always ask Chet to send a video of the wheels being produced and he will send if he has received it. But count on 10-12 weeks but could be sooner as things have opened back up so I would anticipate a little faster turnaround than those who had ordered in Jan-March

It took 4 weeks from the time I received the label info to actually get loaded on a truck after crossing the ocean. May take a bit longer than two weeks
