Im pretty sure its like week 11 or 12 now and Im still waiting for me wheels, my coilovers were specially made for my car and I had to go collect them and they have been waiting in me bedroom 4 weeks now.
Strut brace was delayed 4 weeks because OMP factory closed for 4 weeks and thats been here couple of weeks but....
The Wheels are now on week 12 and every week when I ring Halfords I get, oh because your wheels are Oz and the new Matte Graphite colour there being specially made and will be another 1-2 weeks to come from Italy, 2 weeks ago they were in Germany having the colour applied, these wheels do more travelling than I do!
Anyone else delt with Halfords is 12 weeks a usualy waiting time?
PS Sorry to winge but im getting impatient

I don't use Halfords and i don't intend to.. my mates buy from there all the time and there always disapointed with what they get.. or in your case, how long they have to wait for things in particular like wheels..

Why did you buy your wheels from halfords? i bet they are twice the price of anywhere else?
I went in there enquiring about alloys, they didn't have any in stock, they went on the BK website to show me them, they called BK helpline on the website... and then quoted me about double the price of the wheels on the BK website... you may aswell order them direct yourself from the company...
Halfords are thieves... and in my local store they have rubbish customer service...

They had 20% off and I made use of the 6 months interest free as I blew most me cash on the coilovers and strut brace.
Oh well Ill just give them some more abuse tomorrow, I ring every Thursda to get a progress report which is usually the 1-2 weeks bull.
Well believe me I've learnt my lesson

I bought some O.Z alloys from my local Halfords and they did mess me about a bit. They said they'd be here in a weeks time but turned up only a few days later then expected, i wasnt really much hassle, it was just me being impaitent. Best thing i can suggest mate is go into Halfords and ask to speak to a manager of some sort and demand some sort of compensation or atleast some confirmation to say your alloys have been made etc...
