Abgyak (waiting for the correct size front wheels due to arrive in Aug. 2011)
- PAID IN FULL
- Wheels ordered Aug. 2010
- 4/27 Rick said wheels will be with him today!!!
- 5/04 Rick told me that my wheels arrived in his warehouse last Friday. When asked: when the wheels would be shipped, Rick gave the silent respond!! Hmmpph no PMs replied for 2 days now.
- 5/16 Rick told me my wheels are now with the shipping company... i shudve receive some tracking number last Thursday or Friday but havent heard from him since.... Hopefully i'll get something today!!!
- 5/18 i just paid the full balance for my wheels to Rick last 3-4 weeks ago and everyone is telling him to get file a chargeback and stop the agonizing wait.
- 1 Set of 20" Wheels, 1 Set of Toyo Tires, 1 Set of SPC Camber Kit, H&R Spacer & Kevlar CF Engine Compartment.

Now you're informing me that you'll be shipping it this Friday 27th May 2011???
After all that delay and fake promises, why do you think i need to believe you this time Rick??? Whats the cause of that delay? Im sure its not the production of custom wheels and shipping from Japan thats making the delay!! Please give me a STRONG REASON why i shud believe you this time??.....

If we make your wheels here you would have it long time ago.

And you did mentioned back in December that my wheels are already being shipped to the US... Im sure you werent talking about the Venaci's right? cause i did confirmed on the VSXX back in September....

I dunno if 20mm is just a small matter to you guys, but that 20mm difference was the reason why i go for custom wheels.
Thanks to Rick (VIP Status) and Ken (West Consolidators Inc) to ship it just in time for my red Zeds 2nd Birthday this Friday... But overall satisfied with the fronts but not on the rears...
6/10 - I tried contacting Rick, and has not replied my PMs since yesterday.
6/10 - So Rick responded, but not to my PMs but at the paypal dispute resolution centre quoting my words saying that im satisfied with the wheels...
I mentioned that i was satisfied with the wheels way back when the item just arrived.. I was satisfied with the condition of it, not with the instal.. When instal then this kind of problem arose... It looks like Rick dosent want to take care of this problem instead posted in the resolution centre stating that item arrived to me and i was satisfied with it.. Hmm i'll give rick few hours to respond to me, if not i think i need to make some actions...
6/16 - Rick & i agreed that i will be keeping my money after i get the funds back from paypal claim and will pay Rick back when i get my front wheels. This is just for assurance that i can have something to hold on to.. & Rick agreed with that agreement...
To my surprise he sent an email to paypal for a disagreement on the paypal claim and i lost the claim WTF Rick?? I feel like im being robbed with nothing in hand while just hoping for Ricks promises to come true i.e. By early-mid August.. Im really frustrated dealing with a vendor like Rick... I fully regret buying the wheels from him!! Yes Regret!! If i dont get my wheels by early-mid August this year im sure im gonna take some serious actions  |
Billy

Yes you responded to my e-mail Friday but it was only because I contacted you. An that was after I tried to call 20-30 times. If I didn't contact you I would of never got a response. If you tell me your gonna have an update for me on a certain date and have no update then I at least expect to be contacted to tell me that there is still no update. If I'm told I'll be given an update and everyone goes missing it's frustrating. Yes, you do get back to me eventually but it's like pulling teeth to get a response. I just want a real date when my wheels will be here.

6/15 - My wheels should hopefully be arriving at his shop tomorrow according to him.
6/16 - He said my wheels were suppose to arrive to him today. Of course, I haven't got any update either. It is convenient*that the phone lines aren't working again suddenly when we are all expecting updates.

I heard from Rick yesterday and he told me I should have my wheels by next week.
6/9 - I DON'T have a tracking # still playing the stalling game.
6/10 - Actually talked to Rick a little while ago (he called me) He said his shop is up and running and my wheels should go out Monday the 13Th so I would get them on Friday the 17Th.
6/12 - Well tomorrow is Monday and allot of us are suppose to get some more info,me personally I'm suppose to get a phone call either way to see if my wheels have been shipped.Rick called me on Friday and said he would call me either way on Monday. So good luck to everyone and I hope what your order lives up to your exceptions.
6/13 - Rick just called me and told me my wheels are going out tomorrow.
6/15 - Rick called me again yesterday and said my wheels are going to be @ my house on Saturday.
6/16 - Well I called him for the tracking # and both phones lines have been disconnected. I'm not having any real faith that my Wheels are going to show up on Saturday.
6/16 - Well he did call me back we talked for alittle bit and reassured me they are going to here on Saturday I told him I have other stuff to do Saturday he said make sure I'm there and gave me certain directions when I open the boxes what I need to be looking for in one of the boxes.
At this point I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt based on other things that where said in the conversation some things that were said I don’t feel like divulging on a open fourm.
6/17 - Well as usual he called me back at the last minute and gave me a song and dance so now they are suppose to be hear Wed or Thurs next week instead of tomorrow,he also told me he was @ UPS and after he got done inside he would call me back in 15 minutes with a tracking number well that was 2 hrs. ago.
He told me he was sorry for messing everything up I told him get my wheels hear by Wed and give me a tracking number and I won't be mad,well as you can see he can't even do that.
The guy is unfvcken believe able |

So does this mean the boat Rick said would be here around the end of June has arrived or was your guys wheels on the ship before it? Rick told me my wheels are on the boat coming the end of June but I have not got any updates. Than again sense he said the date I have not asked either just didn't know if any of the people expecting their wheels to come in knew when the boat they were on arrived

- waited 5 months+
- 5 missed deadlines
6/9 - I was promised a delivery on June 15th-20th a couple of weeks ago. I haven't heard anything since and have received no other updates or tracking numbers. I'll keep you guys posted. This makes it more than 5-1/2 months and counting...
6/13 - At least some of you are getting wheels (wrong ones) or getting information. For the last three weeks I have heard nothing. I've sent PM's with no reply. I was told I'd have my wheels this week after almost a six month wait, but again nothing. Rick, I know you look at this thread. Get back to me with a status on my order.
6/14 - Rick finally did contact me and said that my forged centers and other wheel parts should be delivered to him any day. We'll see, I've heard this before.
