It has been a long process, but I FINALLY got my shoes mounted. At first, I wanted to get the Miro 111s in 20s and in hypersilver/machined face. But way back in late May/ early June I was told that they wouldn't be available until September. So I decided to actively hunt for a set of OEM 166s which have always been my favorite wheel but have typically been more than I was willing to spend.
Luckily, I found an amazing used set local to me (which was already a miracle) and was priced at just about what I was willing to spend for the Miros. I've always loved the look of member jcools wheels, so I decided to spend a little extra. However, the wheel shop I chose to customize the wheels took about a month to finish them!! (Long story, but the main reason it took so long is that the owner's wife had some health issues and he had to shut his shop down for a few weeks). He was willing to give me a full refund so I could get the work done at another shop. I decided to just be patient and wished him and his wife the best of luck.
I'm glad I waited!!! Now I think I need a drop. What do you guys think?
