Default KC Fail

Well I ordered my DNA wheels threw KCInternational couldnt find a better deal anywhere else . Ordered the Front and rear wheels , the rotors , the pads and bolts on 2-3-11 only thing that I have gotten so far is everything but the wheels . When I ordered I was told 1 week to my door tops ... well call back and bitch and wheels are to be here end of February. A month to get wheels WTF . According to them NOW they had to be made in Cali and drop shipped . Does this really take a freaking month ??
So everything is on hold til the wheels show up , my hard bags are in from Cali only took 4 days . Cant put them on till the wheels get in ... ugh .. and its like 60 deg out for the first time in months ..... end rant

They are most likely made to order so 2 weeks isn't all that bad. My Ride Wrights shipped from CA and I live in CA and they took about a week or so.

Just be glad it's not the end of Feb! Anymore I dont start tearing my bike down until I have all the parts on hand. Dont wanna miss out on those good riding days!

Your story sounds similar to others I have read on this forum and others. But the wait will be worth it when you get them on your bike.
