I wasn't in on the original group buy, and can't afford to get a set for some time anyway, but I have to say I am very very displeased with how the company Speedriven handled itself and this project as a whole. Based just on what I have seen here and the links posted up, even if I was filthy stinking rich, I would NEVER purchase anything from these assclowns. Talk about a poor poor business model if this is how they handle a group of customers thrusting cash their direction! It makes no sense. Often times the group of people who do the most modding on their rigs are ones who drive the rarer ones. Nobody mods a cavalier because everyone has one, and even if they do its off the shelf autozone stuff fresh off the boat from China, without a care in the world about its quality and how long it will last. People who purchase and mod rigs like ours look for specialized stuff from quality manufacturers. You make one good product and make a name for yourself and anything you may want to try out and branch out with will be readily accepted and sought after by the whole group. Burn that group the first time out, like this, and the effect spreads far greater than the one tiny community.
Maybe they aren't aware there is this thing called the 'internet' that allows people to communicate with large groups INSTANTLY and reputations can be made or broken in mere moments. In today's market reputation is EVERYTHING!
