We're fortunate enough to have Chebosto a local forum member to help out and ask for everyone's behalf about their update/refund/wheel status this evening b/c he's having dinner with Rick tonight.

John Q, it maybe too late but if you have an account over there PM Chebosto your full real name and your order date and what wheels you bought from them so he can get an update on your order.

GL to everyone involve... have a great weekend!

My question to the op is did you make full payment for the wheels? The vendor has a real incentive to get the wheels out to you if you pay 50% now and 50% when the wheels leave the stores warehouse. I bought some Japanese wheels recently. I don't doubt Rick will get the wheels to you, but is it another month or another year.

abgyak · 05-20-2011, 08:00 PM

Ive made a 50-50% payment to Rick, until recently Rick said the wheels are with him and is ready to shipped them out.. so i paid the other half which now makes a full payment.... But for nearly 2 weeks now there's no word from Rick.... He told me the shipping company has picked it up on the 12th of May.... but no tracking number so Far!!!

This is getting ridiculous!!! & i feel that ive been robbed!! Usually Wheels are made to order within 3 months even if its coming from Japan!! I've bought quite a no of custom wheels from Japan & even from the US & never did i experience this kind of dilemma..

Cant the admin do something about this? I mean this problem will never end & it'll bring up this kind of threads over & over again.. Its nearly 1 year of waiting now!! With this range of period even my cats have grandchildren.... Send the wheels already Rick!!! Common!!! Ur better than this!!! Its a shame that a once reputable vendor make this kind of silly mistakes that people will keep in mind forever!!

No, I've only paid a portion of the wheels.

I had a thread up a month or two ago as well but that one got closed. You could go back a couple pages and find it though. The title says VIP Status??

Just found it and read it, F@CK man. It was started 2 weeks before i placed my order. Granted I haven't been waiting nearly as long as you guys, but now i'm worried

docaam · 05-20-2011, 11:26 PM

That's really bad to hear for the OP and I hope the issue resolves quick

I was planning to change my wheels few months back and pm'd VIP and other vendors but after talking to few members on the forum went with ravespec they also bring Work wheels and already have the wheels and totally happy with them.

Baer383 · 05-20-2011, 11:32 PM

I have been waiting since Nov 14 2010 for wheels and the deadline was suppose to be 2 months,well 3 promised dates pasted,now he says he has my wheels BUT they are at the machine shop getting the TPMS hole drilled in the wheel(I thought they came drilled from Venaci)that was on Thursday last week and I haven't been able to get in touch with him since to nail down a date when they will be shipped.
He told me he would give me a refund but I want to see what date he nails down for me to get them,then I will make my decision.

Yeah, all this needs to stop. Hopefully this thread stays open and we could all get our issues resolved.

I hope this thread stays open too. As long as y'all keep it civilized and not turn it into a shouting match then maybe the mods will leave it open.

I thought all the members in my quote above are 350z members... turns out billy and abgyak own a 370... sick cars!

GL everyone!

definitionxmk · 05-21-2011, 01:47 AM

oh hay!!! looks like i'm not the only one in the same boat...

Sorry to "Fern to the Z" for not seeing the other thread. It almost appeared that it was swept under the rug =(

This is why threads like these should remain open for people to check up on member's reviews on certain vendors. Who knows, for those who read this, we might have just saved you some money and time...

If the vendor wasn't messing up in the beginning or kept the customers "in the know", these threads would not exist. sadly, that wasn't the case.

I hope everyone gets what they paid for. Good luck to all.

Surely if VIP Status told realistic deadlines of 6 to 12 months, he would lose a ton of orders.

He knows exactly what he's doing.

Flushnismo · 05-21-2011, 02:35 AM

I paid in full a long time ago and have been waiting for months and months...and I didn't even buy expensive wheels. I bought cheaper wheels so I wouldn't have to wait so long...well WTF..I don't understand how it could possible take this long when he tells me he has the wheels in his hands almost two months ago. Where are they now? hell I don't know. I don't care what excuses or problems there are...just send me my wheels so I can be done with this please. I've missed the only two car shows around here because I've had to wait on him so long..and I'm pissed about that. My car doesn't even have any wheels on it right now because i dismounted my stock tires FOR RICK -.- it's sitting in the garage on jack stands waiting for SOMEBODY to at least reply to me.
