    He has resumed prolific posting on Instagram so hopefully that means production is in full swing. Good luck all.

    Sorry Hoss, cowboys roll cigarettes, not cars.

    I sent a PM. Happy to try to help you.

    He’s the only person I know who sorts parts into 25 degrees of perfection.

    For now I use the pod as a base to mount my iPhone for Waze, Spotify, etc. Works great.

    Maybe afraid of this. “Hold my beer….” https://www.instagram.com/reel/CSndHQaAgPt/?utm_medium=copy_link

    All 4 wheels present and accounted for. In the correct size. All expertly polished. Photos look exactly like above except there are four wheels (and the one bolt sitting proud in the above photo has been fully fastened). Will post photos when installed. And will post an epilogue to the story. Thanks for watching.

    Showed up this morning! Haven’t unpacked and might not do so until at tire shop.

    Wheels now at CDG airport, Paris.

    Received photos of finished wheels yesterday and received a fedex tracking number today so things are looking good. Will update.

    Paul is the best! An ‘02 whisperer.

    Update. My wheels are to be sent out tonight or tomorrow, with photos and tracking number. I am starting to think the log jam has broken and that we all will receive our wheels. Will update on Monday/Tuesday. Thanks to all for looking/watching.

    I like it but… In my experience items tend to flash rust again pretty quickly if not treated after Evapo is applied.

    That part is the lawyers. If BAT says it has been done and it has not, they are afraid of being part of a misrepresentation claim. Just my take. The ads have been formulaic forever. In the early days it was sort of interesting but now has become trite, in my view. Like saying: “The owner’s handbook appears in rare Arial alternating upper and lower cases, with cautions said to have been emphasized in original, and claimed to have been applied via India ink riding over bent A4 sheet stock, driven through an Epsom jet printer.” But the formula is said to be a winning one.

    Yes the other FAQer did receive his wheels. He was away on vacation when they arrived so the delay in relaying information that got posted here by me was partly due to that. I received a photo yesterday of powder coated centers so I remain hopeful and will update.

    I have PMd Vinnyvibz.

    Have had some recent interaction that causes me to think things are probably going to work out but I am not anywhere near sure yet. One other FAQer supposedly has had his wheels shipped out. Frank asked me on Monday for details to complete a shipping pickup so I am waiting a bit more. Now the story has gotten into such a narrow space that whether it is true or not will be easily determinable. Will update the post. Still collecting information on the seller names/addresses/business accounts/etc.

    On pm reply that these are authentic BMW parts made by Frise I sent $$ as requested. Thanks!
  19. Marsattacks
    Are the other two also BMW parts even though they don’t have the logo? If so I will take one. Please let me know. Many thanks.

    Let me preface this by saying hat I have no idea what Rogerstii belt trim is like. But if it is anything like the stainless belt trim that was floating around a few years ago you are in for a festival of pain. I would carefully test fit all of it before taking any further steps. Good luck.

    Yes I have received first the Covid hospital line and then the Covid clinic line and all that time he was posting for sale ads on Instagram while saying he was not allowed to use his phone. Be very cautious with Powderwheels aka frank franker. The explanation has been that there are at least two people with access to the account and they are trying to keep the business up and running. I am going to follow a two week period of detente while the situation clarifies because I think we have his attention. Best course is everyone is happy.

    Frank messaged me (via FB messenger) that my wheels will be shipped out in two weeks. This is not the first deadline. So, the countdown begins again. I will update good or bad.
  23. Marsattacks
    Sorry to say I don’t know. Probably some generic one. 30 minute job. I said how about Thrush? Shop said the didn’t have any but would get close. I have Weber 40 DCOE and no discernible performance degradation.

    More PMs coming in. I have had some more communication from Frank or his associates. I am keeping an open mind and trying to see both sides. From what I have been told and what others have been told this situation should clarify in two weeks. I think we have his attention. The best outcome for everyone is that buyers get awesome wheels from Frank, he gets fairly paid, and the line of communication is clear and not a one-way street for recourse. Everyone will need to assess their own view. More to follow.

    No on feedback. But one can comment on posts. Reporting process is abysmal.
