What does that have to do with anything? He's changed the name 4 times since I've been waiting for wheels.

Just noting that it happened again, and usually when business' change names, they change numbers and address' etc. So for the rest of the guys that keep calling and don't get answers, there's prolly a good reason to it...

As for your case, honestly, unless you're just going to cut your losses and write it up as a don't do that again, you keep hounding them no matter how many times they change their name until they give you your money back or your product. (Not saying you aren't, just judging by you're response you are aware of it)

Usually, when a company changes names and locations it's because they recently filed for bankruptcy. When they move as much as VIP does it's usually a pretty good sign it's a scam, which is what many believe VIP is.

I agree with what you said about there's probably a good reason to a company not responding. That's only to a certain point though. If you've been doing business with a company for months and one week you can't seem to be in touch with them, there's probably a good reason. When you are working with a company for over a year though, and throughout that year you can't seem to be in contact with them at all then it has something to do with the business.

I hounded for 8 months and officially got nothing. There was no way I was just going to cut my losses and write it up as a don't do that again. The only option I was left was to file a chargeback since I could not contact Rick himself for a return.

I hear you bud, I can't believe the runaround that has gone on with this company. At one point I was interested in some of their parts, but not anymore. I don't care who on here will vouge that they're a decent person. I have seen enough...

Default Go with RAVSPEC

Ordered my wheels from Mark @ RAVSPEC after backing out of a possible deal with Venaci. So happy I did.

Mark is very knowledgeable, straightforward about the wait / delivery time, and more importantly, provided outstanding communication during the entire process. He is great to deal with. Would highly recommend him to anyone.

Wheels are in = ON TIME !!!

Those are beautiful Hen Eggs!! These are exactly what I was waiting on from Rick and it's clear I chose the wrong company. Enjoy them! I will hopefully be ordering the same ones from Mark once I get my new car.

Thanks man. Can't wait to get them on my buggy.

Good luck. I feel bad for you and what you've gone through.

Man, if you guys are waiting for Venaci Spirits that look like the Work Gnosis GS-2, you're going to be sadly disappointed. The Venaci Spirit is now produced by a unknown knockoff company, of unknown quality and safety specifications. The hub, spoke profile, rim lip and finish, and even the bolts are different than what you were sold months ago. VIP doesn't deny this, and I told them it's not what I ordered and I didn't want them. I filed a charge back with my CC (after 8 months of waiting) and got my money back.

I saw yours the other day as well. I like the brushed look; very nice.

I wasn't sure when I ordered mine, so I went with the silver. They still look pretty awesome.

Make sure you post em up installed.
