I'm going to assume he ordered them all together as a batch so chances are my wheels won't come any sooner than someone that ordered a month down the track from me. This if of course excluding the shipping time from DE to AU.

I'm in a pickle now, it is still saving me 2,500 AUD waiting but is it really worth it if it takes 1/3 of a year?

Your call if the extra 2,5k are worth the longer wait.

To be honest, and I don't want to be mean, I'm not sure getting your money back will be the easiest right now. As you've seen yourself, communication can be tough and I've seen this too often.

Try to think of it as a great deal worth the wait... one thing is for sure, the wheels are legit.

This is why I never, ever, take money off anyone before the parts get to me. Puts the buyer in a terrible position.

Gotcha, appreciate the information.

I'll wait it out, guess I don't have much of a choice and I'm half way there already

Fingers crossed it comes before the end of April.

Has anyone received the ordered wheels from Steffen yet?

Is Richland forged good quality?
Thinking about making my stock 788's into winter wheels and getting the piano gloss black 763 from Richland as my summer set. The stock tires should slap right on the Richland set right?

[M2_MEDUSA]

I got real lucky. My M2 with 15 miles came with the 763M’s off the boat and included with no up charge.

Zero news...Today exactly 2 months since my order

[AUSf22]

Steffen surprisingly did respond to me a few days back saying he will follow up with his contact about where the wheels are, however no news yet
Been 9 weeks for me

[agent_orange]

Have '21 M2C arriving soon and wanted 763 wheels since before even placing the order.
Thought that the frozen gold would look great on LBB and had looked at many pictures online, mostly misano blue M2CS with the gold 763s.
However I found a dealer near me who had an M2CS that had just been sold but not yet picked up and was happy to let me have a good look and take some pictures.
The wheels, which look silver-gold and not high gloss in most photos including the ones I took, are actually really quite gold and glossy in real life.
This relates back to the question a few pages ago about whether the CS gold and the M Perf gold version are the same colour or not, but still doesn't answer that question...

Yes, good quality, and yes, the stock tires will fit just fine, they will be just a bit more stretched because the RF GT4 is ½" wider front and rear.

I think it all depends on the lighting conditions. Look at these M Performance ones on this CS. They did indeed look quite golden in real life. Not the best angles, but if you zoom you can see that he is rocking M Performance ones vs CS without the stamp.

I had an order first week of Feb, I am getting the wheels this week. 2 months waiting time.

Ratcher, you legend, thank you for your update. I also ordered early Feb so I hope my set is close as well. I'll be happy if mine reaches DE this week so it can begin another long journey to me. My wheels be doing a world tour

[agent_orange]

This is one of the photos I took of the M2CS, which has the gold wheel looking very similar to every other photo online.
But in real life they look very different, much closer to this gold chrome wheel randomly found online.

Glad I went and had a look at this car before buying the gold 763s, because I would have had a shock when I opened the boxes as I suspect others have had.
Now going to get the black ones and probably get them painted a custom silver, titanium, or ferric grey colour.

Steffen got back to me via text... Said he's seen lots of shipments coming in lately, and as of a few days ago thinks i'll have my wheels in a couple weeks. For reference, I PayPal'd on Feb 16th...

So close!

Nice, we are on the same boat.. I paypal'd on the 10th of feb.

Steffen said maybe 2 weeks before he sees them so I'm going to most likely get it in May sometime.

Been an agonizing wait, let's hope the final product materializes with no hiccups

I definitely share your frustration...

Where your money is sent away and you have an uncertainty and no date of when your purchase is arriving.

I can definitely conclude saving 2-3k for this deal is definitely not worth it for anyone else thinking about it.

The 3-4months you've waited you would have earned that money saved many times over.
