OK, so my order was confirmed today by Andrea Roin. He will let me know when it is ready for delivery, at which time I will pay him. He did not need/want any money or deposit up front, which surprised me. Given the dollar amount, I would have been happy paying him half up front just so he knows I am not a fake customer. Since these wheels are made to order, I know I would have wanted half or all of the payment up front.
Again, once received and installed on the car, I will post photos. Can't wait...
