Well my ass is bleeding.....I ordered the wheels.
I started the day off having Summit quote them. I wanna use PayPal credit and take advantage of the 6 month same as cash thing they offer when you spend over 100 bucks.
The problem is, Summit isn't set up to allow you to do a custom order. You have to call dude, and tell him what you want, and he places the order with American racing for you. And that means that you cannot use PayPal credit, because it's not an " online purchase"
But the guy was creative, he figures out a way to do it, and within an hour, he calls me and tells me to check my "cart" to confirm the size and back spacing of the wheels he's dropped in there for me to buy.. Total price for all 4 would be 1658.91.
Everything was correct save one thing.....they were the wrong wheels.
So I call dude and tell him I want Magnum 500 style wheels ( Vn500 PN ) NOT the torque thrust style wheel he's dropped in
I have these already,...albeit for the orange and black paint, and the fact that mine are Chinee, and they weigh over twice what this one would.
He says he don't know what happened, and he'll call me back after he gets it fixed.
Which he did.
Only this time, the price is 1980.00. And he can't do like he did with the other set. I'll have to buy the wrong wheels, call him, cancel that order, and have him apply the money against the other set, AND.....ill have to make other arrangements to pay for the 500.0 difference.
I don't have to tell you do I?
No, said the Monkey Fightin finger.
So..I tell dude to hold off, that I was gonna check another source. Since I've been shopping for these things, I know who to call.
And he says that I can custom order the wheels on their website, and that I can use PayPal credit to pay for them. And, whether I buy from him, or go online and do it, the price will be the same....1633.00 shipped. For one pair of 17x8's, and one pair of 17x11's.
Hell yeah.
So they're coming boys. One more thing I'm doing to convert the Monster over to a retro version of himself. I think I've got The tail lights figured out, I got the hood and trunk, I just need three more things to make the Monster version of a Cyclone, into a something that Ford might've done in 1978 if I worked on their design team version of a Cyclone.
Which will have all kinds of people scratching their heads.
I need a scoop, I need that wing spoiler, and I need the stripe kit.
I worked on it about 5 hours,..I'm in no hurry. It's raining today, it'll be raining all week. The monster will be ready when he's ready.
