Unfortunately we did not receive the 1-series specific ARC-8's as we had initially anticipated due to some unexpected delays. We are expecting them to arrive in the coming months, but do not have an exact ETA at this time.

We do have the EC-7's available in stock in the Anthracite finish in which you can order here.

Is the delay due to the longshoreman labor dispute at the docks?

I read that a lot of companies have had big delays because of it.

That is correct, it's definitely an issue that affects many companies besides ourselves. We are hoping that everything will be settled and resolved as soon as possible.

We are only able to host a Group Buy when we have enough inventory to accommodate for one. With the outstanding backorders and lack of inventory, it is not feasible to host a Group Buy for the 1-series ARC-8's at this time. When inventory levels are once again plentiful, a Group Buy may be an option.

So the labor dispute impacts wheels in 1-series offsets only? Seems you had no trouble getting the shipment and selling a shit load of arc-8s in other offsets in the recent group buy...

No, it's affected our other inventory as well. We were able to sell ARC-8's in other offsets in the recent Group Buy as we had many of those SKU's in stock, unlike the 1-series wheels in which we've been awaiting for wheels to arrive.

Couple of years later after the first group buy, still couldn't be happier with my ARC-8 set!

Agreed. I read a post yesterday and now it's gone. Not cool.

I'm not sure which post you are referring to, but we did not have any post deleted as we don't have the authority to modify any post other than our own.

We are facing unexpected delays for the production and shipments of the 1-series wheels, and are likely not seeing delivery of them until closer to summer. We can refund the money to you if you no longer wish to wait, or would rather wait until the wheels are back in stock to make the purchase.

Good luck. My order's been in since last fall. I suspect that they don't intend to stock 1-series fitments anymore; and their manufacturing facility is now tooled for the newer f2x f3x. So they're probably waiting for enough orders so that it makes sense financially to change out the tooling and do a 1-series batch; but that's just a guess - since they're seemingly unwilling to provide any details.

It's been nothing but "unexpected delays" and "coming months" since last June.

I was told in Feb that the 1-series wheels had already been manufactured and due to a shipping "mistake" they did not arrive with the other wheels that showed up in the shippment received in Feb. They were then supposed to arrive as part of the next shipment in April. Now they say unexpected delays in manufacturing and shipment. Im done waiting as I've been trying to purchase since last July. I had my money refunded (at least that was easy) and ordered a set of f14 forgestars.

We have received a number of Hyper Silver ARC-8's in the 1-series fitment, in which we will fulfill the pre-ordered sets starting tomorrow in the order that the orders were received. We are receiving a couple more shipments within the next 30 days with more 1-series specific ARC-8's in the Anthracite, Hyper Black, and Hyper Silver finishes. Unfortunately, the Satin Black finish are only coming in limited quantities of the 18x8.5" ET45 front fitments for these shipments, with the rear 18x9.5" ET62 not expected to arrive until later shipments in the summer.
