Venaci Wheels?

Harvin370z · 06-23-2011, 05:27 PM

I know the wheels do come from Japan, and there Work wheels. The phone line is back up again. I think hes just busy moving to his new place, which must not be easy. I hope everyone will get updates soon.

Rick called me a little while ago and we talked about the front offset and determined that there is way too much lip,so he is going to check on a few things and get back to me.

These are the new Venaci Mesh wheels apparently.. Don't see any Work logos on them.. Looks like the guy is a mod on G35Driver.

He's got the same title as I do on my350z as a "club" moderator. I'm not an actual staff member and I don't have any ban power... just assigned to moderate the Houston section where me and my buddies go to bs and plan out meet/cruises etc...

I have similar wheels, it should say Work but one thing I got to know from Ravepsec was that even if you remove the bolts the center its welded with the lip so two pieces technically but its a single piece wheels, maybe the person removed the bolts and custom painted it?

That guy appears to be clueless

Venaci is a brand, not a manufacture. In the past, it was apparent that Work Wheels was the parent company manufacturing the Venaci brand (Work engravings, Work valvestems, etc..). As of now it is not so clear who is manufacturing or assembling these wheels for Venaci/VIP-Status. On multiple occasions we've seen Rick mention "we are waiting on the centers". To me this could mean two things..

1. The wheels are coming from Japan however once here they are dissembling them so they can offer custom finishes (Gold, Purple, whatever..). The assembling is then done in house at VIP-Status (by someone who is inexperienced as we've already seen multiple wheels leaking) and shipped to the customer.

2. The center forging is not done by Work Wheels anymore but instead a local company in the US. This would explain why the wheels no longer have Work engravings and also the lack of quality control during assembly.

You won't get a straight up answer from Rick so it's up to one of you guys to do some investigating

Not clueless exatly but I guess he knows his are not Work

Regarding disassembling these as in pictures or the gnosis mesh can't be taken apart like Volks even if you take the bolts off as barrel is welded with the center this is what I have been told.

Not all 3 piece wheels are welded some are assembled with high pressure sealant.
