Have you heard anything back about your wheels yet? I got a reply to a message I sent on monday saying they were being collected on tuesday and they would be with me before weekend, but nothing arrived. Sent him a message asking for a tracking number on friday, no reply. Starting to get a bit worried. :(

He did contact me last week saying everything was ready to be shipped and he would send me an paypal invoice for the rest of the payment.
But have not heard or received anything from him since. I assume he's just swamped with work and has hard time replying to everyone in a timely manner.

Noticed I did a first downpayment at the end of July so i've been waiting a while now ;)
Im still confident in he will end up shipping them to me but it just seems to take a lot more time then expected.

Still quite a lot less time it took my C-West kit to arrive.. had to wait 9 months on that.

Yeah fair enough, you have a lot more patience than I do. Just feeling a bit disappointed that I was told they'd be here and they're not!

Yea, being in the car tuning I've learned to become patient.. Since I have yet to come across a company that can do things within the said times.
Got a dialy driver for my normal a-b driving so I never 'need' the S15. But would be nice to have some things done quicker.
Its been 2 years exactly today since I got the car home. So busy working on it for 2 years now without any driving :(

But some good news, Japanese Performance contacted me with the remainder of the invoice, all payed now and wheels should be on their way.
So hope to have them by the end of this week or early next week.

As for the S15 itself, should be mapped by now but ran into a gearbox problem.
Box doesnt want to go into first and second gear properly so having to sort that before they will be able to map it.

My wheels turned up today mate, trial fitted them today and you're going to need spacers for the front, they don't clear the calipers. Not sure exactly what size yet but I think at least 15mm. Just FYI!

not as tame as the ones I bought ;)

But weird they wont clear your calipers with those sizes. I had 8.9J ET30 TE37 and they cleared my R33 GTR calipers easily.
Probably has to do with a low-disc design on the spokes of the Koenig.

Hmm well Ill have to wait and see when I get my wheels.
If thats the case I have to entirely rebarrel them. Dont plan on using spacers really.

You'll have no choice with spacers unfortunately, I had another quick look and the disk is more like 2cm from the face of the brake disk to the back of the disk. I'd rather not use spacers too but it's either that or don't use the wheels! :wack:

I can take a few photos for you if you like?

Following this thread. Seeing I have the same kit. Probably going 12j et9 on the rear should be fun. What wheel specs are you fitting?

Didn't realise they came in high-disk as well. Hope it works out for you.

They came without tyres, they're the same size as my old wheels so just used the tyres I had.
