Thumbs up *** Zauber Gettins update ***

first of all, i just want to say that it is my not intention to sell wheels publically in the open forum as i am not an official CL vendor. however, i would like to take this opportunity(if allowed by the nice CL mods) to inform fellow lex owners that Arrow Ent, maker of the Gettins have found additional financial/manufacturing resource and backing for the co to stay in business.

back in 12/03, i found out from japan that the co was unwilling to accept money and order for the fact they were unable to deliver wheels as they had done in the past. consequently, i had to make a public announcement so potential wheels buyers became aware of this fact. to me, it was plain and simple. when a co refuse to accept your order and money, such speak integrity and should be applaud.

hopefully this is good news for some; and make sure we all spend our hard earned money carefully.

thank you

That is a very good point, other companies would probably just take the $$$ and run!!

This explains why when I originally ordered my set, the order was cancelled after about 3 weeks after placing the order. You see, Zauber Gettins were not made in 18s for BMWs (bolt pattern). If you wanted them in 18s for your Bimmer you had to special custom order them, so that's what I did. three weeks later Method Motor Works informed me that Arrow has decided to stop doing custom orders, therefore my order would not be fulfilled! So, my only alternative was to get 19s, which they make in the BMW bolt pattern (and had in stock) or get another brand of wheel! Well, I decided to go 19s and I absolutly don't regret it!

So true. Some company (specifically speaking) will take your money AND HAVE PRODUCT PRODUCTION and yet still not deliver the product. Applause to arrow for their professional and responsible actions! I'm GLAD I bought from them!

With all of the conditions that you got your wheels under, its probably best to stick with them! The Beamer has low offsets to get you a nice lip anyway!! LOL

I know. Maybe I am being greedy in that I want more lip. Already in the rear I have a 3.2 inch lip on my Gettins. But because the design of the Gettin "star" is elevated upward toward the rim, it kind of camoflages the true depth. Maybe I am just being picky!
