How long did you wait for your wheels, if you dont mind me asking?

I actually used to live near their shop so I just dropped off my stock wheels and had them re-use the stock hubs. I think it took a couple weeks but I picked them up so I didn't have to have them shipped.

Well, I'm still waiting on my wheels from black bike wheels. It's been more than six weeks now and every time I call I get the same story; their machinist is running behind and they are waiting on the rear hub. Been hearing this for more than three weeks and its getting quite frustrating. Congrats to you guys who have had positive experiences with them but I personally will not be using them ever again.

However the fact that it's 36 degrees and raining here in Missouri is easing my pain haha....
