Their asking price is $1400 a set!
Can anyone shed some light as to whats going on? SLP's site says nothing about this, and still lists them as $1099 a set. Something isnt right here...
I'm pretty sure SLP gets theirs through Ronal with SLP center caps... yes, they are in fact discontinued. When I talked to Ronal earlier this summer they said they only had a few sets left ready to ship, and that they are discontinued once again...
Damnit! In dont know what to do now... I REALLY wanted a set of these, but definatley cant afford them at the moment with the engine buildup going on. And ya know some *******s are gonna buy the rest of em up and sell em for $2000 a set.
Gary@ Ronal quoted me a price, and when I was ready to buy (granted 2 month later) he quotes 75.00 higher per rim WTF.
I bought his last two sets of original red firehawk lense caps I told him I needed to sell my home first (two mortages at that time) and I would buy the set as soon as it sold. I didnt think it would take two months, but anyway he didnt honor his price nor his word. So I guess Im not going to buy a set and I sold the lenses, so be it.
I like my GTA wheels, but as soon as I upgrade my brakes, Im buying a set of Boyds I really like, someone here has them on their Camaro and they can only look better on my GTA
WHEN DID YOU BUY AND SELL THOSE LENSES? I pleaded for "the last set" of those over a year ago and he said he had none left....
If you search my posts, you will know that I have had MAJOR issues with Gary in the past. It does not surprise me that your price wasnt honored -- sorry to hear that.
Yep, the production of R15s has ended...the topic of one lovely conversation with Gary.
lets see I bought them around Oct 2002. I recently offered them for sell here with those who have the ronals, but nobody seemed to want them. I ended up selling both sets to a guy off of Firehawk.com. I think his name was robert (very nice guy) anyway he didnt have a firehawk but was collecting all that he could when he does buy one. If I would have know you wanted a set they would have been yours,sorry.
I placed my order the day they announced them. The person who took the order quoted them at $1,180 custom painted black windows and shipped. I left a $50.00 deposit and waited.
I found out they were ready to go and called to pay the balance. They gave me a higher total, but I told them I quoted the above price shipped.
They honored it with no problems. The other price was about $175 higher.
Damn. I was fighting myself on getting these "the next time SLP has a sale" because I like everything about them (esp. the basic style) except the brake clearance and the rears will need spacers on my ride.
I searched on SLPs site again and again and was just .
Oh well, it's best that I wait at this point in time.
