Update on OE CSL Wheels GB from M3F???

[repoman89]

What was the group by deal anyways or what was the discount how significant was it?

Think it was $900 shipped for the fronts. Pretty nice deal considering they’re a hundred more from Schmiedmann and shipping is a few hundred on top of that. The CSL trunk group buy on the other hand I was skeptical of .. got quoted consistently $100 on top of the Schmiedmann shipped price, and I believe they came from Schmiedmann, so seemed like more of a middle man than a group buy.

Wow, that's cheaper than regular ZCP front wheels. If anyone wants to back out of their spot... let me know...

I think it was like $1760 for the full set. Pretty significant savings.

Well I have been avoiding sending him emails (as a business owner I have some sympathy especially right now) to not bug him... But I have been curious since our April 13 email update... Anyone have word on the airboxes? That’s the one I am in on...

Hopefully he doesn’t have the rona... I haven’t dealt with him on a GB before but it seemed like he ran a lot and everyone was happy. So I am hanging onto good hope for now

I always feel like Leighton's pricing is comparable to the current lowest price at the time (ie: Schmiedmann, Turner).. except that they are accountable businesses and actually communicate in a timely manner.

Not to knock the guy's passion and devotion to the community, but for comparable pricing, I know where my money is going..

CSL fronts are $650+ *each* on Turner's site. Schmiedmann has it for $453 a pop but then you have shipping.

My biggest concern is gonna be warranty. What if something goes wrong, there is no record of us getting it from Turner, whom do we reach out? I doubt Leighton will be communicating promptly...

Yeah so this isn't clear, but my impression/hope is that this is basically Leighton placing orders on our behalves but our information is still in Turner's system -- they're shipping directly to us, after all. So, we should be able to work directly with Turner on any issues. Hopefully.

Depending on the price delta, its worth noting you'll likely get the Schmiedman in a few days which is impressive any way you look at it.

I called Turned directly to get shipping info from an order placed the way we've been discussing. It took some noodling on their end but they found it via delivery address. You don't get an order # so suffice it to say, there are a few gaps

I sure hope that is the case.

Always pay the fees. It can bite you in the ass in the end. Not knocking on Leighton, but everyone is as legit as their last transaction. Anything can change. I payed the extra for peace of mind as I can always file a claim if things go south.
