I also have heard some nightmares about the amount of time Stockton Wheel takes. There are quite a few guys that will never use them again.
I'll just say that I had some wheels made by Stockton... They looked nice, took forever longer than all the promised delivery dates they gave me (one accurate one at however long would have been fine, lies are not). Wheels were not made to the backspacing I had requested (off close to an inch) which was correctly noted on the packing slip, no question they were wrong. They offered to make me new ones if I shipped the old ones back to CA at my expense and waited months and months again.
They just fit as they were, I used them. Did stop by and visit on a round the country trip in same truck, seem to be nice folks, but I'll never deal with them over the phone again if at all.
