I was waiting for a response from a few members however I have yet to recieve their responses. The list also changed a bit and is now fully up to date as of today.

I am starting to PM everyone on the Hyper Black list deposit information as we are now ready to start this order

20 lbs in unsprung weight is a nice drop in weight which does help performance. Unsprung weight effects the car different then normal weight added to the car (ie passengers, equipment, etc..) and by loosing unsprung weight you will improve your acceleration, response, etc..

We are now close to the initial 10 people needed to start this order. Sorry if it wasn't clear in the first post but we did need 10 people to start production on these wheels in CTS-V fitment (required hub fabrication, etc..) We are just shy of 10 people however I will cover the remaining sets to get the order going, this means these sets will still be available to pre-order at any time and if they don't pre-sell before arrival they will be available for sale in our inventory.

Also now that there will be an available mold fully ready for production, we can order the Rota Torque at any time in CTS-V fitment. The order minimum on a wheel already ready for full fabrication is 5 sets in the same size, color, specs. For our special orders we usually require 3 people interested in the same wheel and then we will cover the remaining few sets required to start the order. This way we can get you guys new colors that you specifically want as long as there are a couple interested.

So you can be added to the Hyper Black list now and you will be guaranteed a set or if there is another color you are interested in getting we can add you to that list and see if there is interested in this color. This isn't just a one time offer

Also for those that mentioned they can't PM me, is this due to forum account restrictions (requires an upgraded forum account?) or an issue on your end? Please let me know as you can always email me or reach me in the shop by phone M-F 9am-5pm PST.

We have the PM policy for adding new lists as I want to make sure everyone is 100% sure they want that wheel/color and also so I don't miss someone's post in between the normal discussion in the thread.

I'm confident that some of the PM issues would be taken care of if they would respect the fact that sites like this cost money to run, and perhaps they should help support it. Especially when they're looking to take advantage of such a great deal. Yet they're the ones that get internet-cocky and go off about physically abusing other forum members. Douche.

Dan, it's been a pleasure doing business with you. Credit card transaction went smoothly and I look forward to your invoice. Let's push for the 2 month end of your 2-3 month lead time! Now as long as everyone gets to paying...

Too bad these weren't being offered bigger than the stock 18's we already have

So pay yours!!!! You are getting something so why not give some back???

Bobby I tried PM'ing you the deposit info however I received this message when sending to your account

ctsv154 has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her.

Please check your settings and if you can't accept PM's please call me in the shop M-F 9am-5pm PST at 510-651-2956 and ask for Dan. Thanks!

Thanks for calling in to place your deposit Keith! I have your invoice all set and it will be emailed to you this evening when we send out our batch. As soon as everyone's deposit is in we will get everything rolling and I will stress that this is a priority order

Paypal sent.. +1 for restricting group buys to supporting members

ravenv · #**144** (**permalink**) 02-11-09, 11:57 AM

wheels look great wish I could afford them right now. Maybe when I get some tax money

stuckey · #**145** (**permalink**) 02-11-09, 04:36 PM

Agreed only supporting members should be able to take advantage of the great deals that are offered around here. Especially when some of the group buys are dug up and set in motion by members.

You're the man, Dan. I'm with bigRED - let's aim for the 2 month end of that 2-3 month window. Frankly, even 2 months will be too late for me, as I'll already be back out at sea.

My set of wheels will just have to sit at my house, just like the set of DPTs you sold me at the end of last year!

(Should have tires for those Monday so I can finally get them on the car.
