Nice! Mine were sent via DHL, and arrived within 4 days. Super quick!

If these are forged, they're an incredible deal...

They are most certainly forged.

Lightest OEM wheels (aside from the 963M).

Congrats. So did mine. Hope they come sooner than the 12+ days. I really like their customer service. Was able to get the M Performance bags too from them and had it shipped with the wheels without paying separate shipping.

Great move. I wasn't that smart. I ordered the tire bags, tire sensors and center caps from my local dealer with no ETA. And then the tires from Tire Rack.

Is the best price at paddleshifterz now? Do they have a valid promo code?

I think paddleshifterz has the best customer service and very prompt at responding to your requests and able to accommodate them. I think baum has the lowest price but suck at customer service and i think the rears r not in stock. U can order fronts for now and rears from paddleshifterz if u want to save some money (like $200) but I feel its well worth it to order everything through paddleshifterz. The owner personally responds to ur emails and shipping is very prompt. Good luck

Does paddleshifterz also have the TPMS sensors? I couldn't find them on their site.

They did not. I went with tpms dot com and got the OEM shroeder black stem for $56 each. The shipping was reasonable and arrived within a week.

Yes, thanks - I saw that earlier. Sadly, they don't seem to ship to Canada.

It occurs to me that Costco probably sells generics. Any reason to avoid those?

Thanks also to Draper, for your response and link.

I blinked and they're gone now.

Costco does have generics and AFAIK they seem to work well and they do guarantee their work. So if you can find one at costco, id prob do that. Baum has the tpms sensors for $50 too and will ship internationally. Its a pain to go through customer service to confirm the part but they do have OEM ones. Have u tried tpms-direct dot com to see if they will ship to Canada ?

I tried checking out on the TPMS site but failed; I suppose I could call. But I'll check in with Costco first, for simplicity's sake. Worst case they don't have black stems.

Come to think of it, I don't even know if I have black stems on my bicolour 826Ms ... and short of going outside to look or checking a photo it's practically unknowable LOL.

Cheers

I guess the other link disappeared.

Here it is again.

Black stems are also available (not all places have these).

Got my CSL wheels from Paddleshifterz. They look great. Just a bit disappointed with the packaging. Luckily no visible damage to the wheels.

Mine had the the foam sheets plus foam blocks on both sides of the wheel, which seemed sufficient to me.

Looks like your boxes took a lot more damage than mine though. Glad they made it undamaged!

Mine had the foam sheets and 2 flimsy foam ?rods on either side but most of them were broken when I opened the package. I was surprised that there wasnt more tight foam packaging or even those foam peanuts to withstand the impact and prevent the box from collapsing. I was dreading opening the box but luckily no damage so far.

Its so weird how DHL delivers these. I had one come Wednesday, 2 come in Friday and still waiting for one more. The tracking is useless and it keeps saying waiting for customs ...lol

Same for me. 1 was out for delivery, then went back to the station. 3 were delivered the next day, then that 1st wheel came the day after.
