BBS E87 / E88 Wheel Delays?
#31
Buyer beware? More like buyer be patient. While I do and have always been apologetic, we must simply wait.
This may come across the wrong way, but I cannot give "weekly emails" to update a client or clients when there is NO UPDATE. When I say I will update you as soon as I have more information or when your wheels are ready, I will. I always do. I deliver. Period.
We have been through this time and time again John. As luck would have it, your parts are actually in! Yay! I shot you an email earlier today. I haven't heard back from you. Please check your email and respond.
Thanks everyone.

Did you try picking up the phone and calling them? Butzi is a full service shop with a great reputation. I have no doubt they're inundated with work and emails like everyone else. But they are there every day working on customer cars. It's no as if it's some internet retail commodity that would vanish into the night. They're good people and I'm sure they'll get back to you with an apology and a resolution.

Yeah, Buyer beware of Covid and all of the supply chain issues it’s caused!!!!
This really shouldn’t be a reflection on the guys reselling the products (and spec’in perfect custom offsets in Dave’s case).
I’ve dealt with Dave/Butzigear many times and he’s always gone above and beyond for his clients. BBS has been having significant delays, just like a majority of manufacturers. Unfortunately the resellers always get stuck in the middle. It’s a crappy place to be. Waiting sucks too but it’s unfortunately the world we live in these days.
Glad to hear that BBS finally delivered. He’s gunna love his wheels, that’s for sure! Hoping to see some pics! Enjoy.

JG,
I just got my E88 wheels in from Vivid Racing last week. It looks like Butzi is reaching out to you too regarding your wheels. I also noticed you are also in DFW, maybe once wheels are on we can meet up a PCA meet or do a BBS shoot lol.

We have had clients place their orders Spring/Summer of this year and have just started to receive a few shipment manifests that have allowed these sets to be completed about a week ago.
However, I would consider these customers very lucky. We also have numerous other E88 centers on order going onto month 12. It’s just a luck of the draw and the ETA is largely dependent on what centers and specs the build requires. There are hundreds of centers and each set is bespoke and built to order. Many popular centers command the sort of ETA that are discussed in this thread, however there is no way to tell until the parts show up and are sorted.
As many other vendors have mentioned, the ETAs are out of our control and one can only continue to hope and pray theirs comes soon. It’s frustrating but in the end, the wait is well worth it.

As an update for those curious, I ordered my E88's on July 20th and they are shipping today. Just under 6 months. My sales rep told me that orders he's getting today are being quoted for October. Good luck to those waiting, and remember that these distributors and sales reps have little control or insight into what's going on in Germany. They are as much in the dark as we are as customers.

I'm in the market for wheels but I HATE the idea of floating my money and decision out there for 8+ months. I really did want a set but now other brands like Fikse and Forgeline have my attention, too.

We have many centers & sets on order which would in most cases allow you to get the order quicker than getting in the back of the line by going to BBS USA directly. We do get cancellations time to time but we do not cancel our orders so we can fulfill our customers orders more expediently. We order from both BBS USA and from direct distributors in Germany which also allows us access to more inventory which leads to faster deliveries. Not to mention our delivered price is less than ordering from BBS USA.
