Has anyone gotten aero disk wheel covers from wheelbuilder.com? Can you tell me how long it took to arrive? I have a race on Oct 4th and would like them in time for that. I live on the east coast, so that might be an issue! Thanks!

Do you know how hard it would be trim it yourself? Or would that just be a disaster? I don't have one of the standard wheels listed, and maybe ordering the untrimmed with 2 day shipping has the best chance of arriving on time. I did contact the company and they said 1-2 turnaround time plus shipping time.

Get it trimmed.  It's worth it to have it done right.  And their customer service is pretty good so I'd believe what they tell you in terms of turn-around.  I'm sure if you tell them your needs (and are willing to pay for it) they'll get you faster shipping.

Thanks. Their customer service said if I ordered it today, then can get it to me in time. So, I ordered it trimmed with 2nd day air. Keeping my fingers crossed that it actually does arrive in time, and that it helps me have a super-dee-dooper bike split. Those trimming instructions on BT looked great, but I tend to screw things like that up, so for $25 extra I went with the custom trim job.

I would do the same, and I'm pretty handy.  $25 is a small price to pay to have it perfect.

I'm going to think of that quote at my race. That's a great one. (However, I do think I would choose the blue pill. Ignorance is bliss.)

Speaking of ignorance...in case someone else besides me is: the rear wheel has a different number of spokes than the front. I almost ordered the wheel covers with the wrong specs!
