I've now ordered the WORK wheels in RevSpec.
Rick told me that it is better to order from someone else.

"dennis
if it make you feel better.
check and see if there is a work dealer in germany
i will just send body kit and big black sticker first ok
thank you
rick"

No. Rick said 4 wheels were lost and the shop paid for them, so he had to order new wheels. He said he would send me loaners but never heard anything after that. So no wheels, no kit, no contact...He has all my money. Help me out here guys :shakes head:

i'll pm you our new # when we have it too.
thank you
rick

I don't know where to go with this. Originally, this thread is about people's wheel status but in escalated to Rick owing people, whether it's wheels, partial refund, body kits, updates etc...

You paid in full... have you gotten your money back for the wheels and now you're waiting for your wing, body kit and exhaust from Rick?

Also, you order wheels from someone else... should I take you off the list? LMK

No update since? Wow...

No update since? Wow...[/QUOTE]


I contacted the distributor myself and they said it would a few more weeks before they got the offset I wanted, I told Rick this and he said he also talked to them and they said the same thing to him. This was a few weeks ago. He hasn't sent my carbon aero jacket kit or any "loaner" wheels. I don't know if he realizes I can't drive my car. The rear tires are gone and I'm not wasting money on tires when I already bought 4 new ones from Rick. This is starting to affect my life. All for some wheels... -.- I don't have another car and it's starting to get difficult getting to school and work. I wish he could see what I'm going through. Not only not being able to drive my car and the constant waiting and false hopes..but How everybody laughs and mocks me every other day "Hey Jacob, where are those wheels you ordered 6 months ago?" since I often do say.."Rick said they would be here soon! :tup:" two weeks later no wheels and no response...over and over again :shakes head::mad:. I hang my head in shame. How am I suppose to explain that? You can't. There is no explanation. The Z club I'm in laughs at my situation..saying the disaster in Japan is the reason why. That has nothing to do with it. I'm done fighting for something I should have had a long time ago. You're making me look stupid Rick... Thanks for that.

I am not sure where you are, but get a set of stock rims/tires cheap and resell them when you are done.

I have a set of slicks but after a week they are pretty bad too. They wear down too fast. I just don't think I should have to go buy more wheels just to wait. That's ridiculous. Here's my car three months ago..

@stogey420time

I know that here it's all about the wheels
I have paid for body kit and wing.
The HKS system I should pay also.
I wanted to pay only the HKS if I get it delivered.

The wheels should I pay for it.
I have not done.
I did not want to send money when I've got nothing.

Well I just wanted to see if Rick delivers the HKS.
I would pay the HKS as soon as I got it.

hey all,

just an update guys, i finally received my body kit off rick, still awaiting the engine cover kit though, but hope all these issues can be cleared up asap for everyone :)

What kit? Any quick pics?

Yeah what kit?.. I think i ordered the same one. Not sure why you get yours but I dont get mine. Is it in good condition?

lucky men:tup: you've been waiting long enough

I received a check in the mail today for my partial refund.

@stogey420time
I ordered my wheels back in Feb. 2010. I put half down as a deposit. I spoke to him in March 2011 because the wheels did not come in from Work and he made me a deal to make me some venaci wheels instead. I agreed but I have not heard from him since. The phone lines are disconnected and he wont reply to my pm's. If possible I would like to just get my money back because I have already purchased some new wheels.
My name is Shu and the wheels were for a G35 sedan.
thank you for your help

This will be one of those things that goes unpunished.

:iagree:

When was the last time someone actually spoke to Rick on the phone after his line went dead?

I haven't spoke with Rick on the phone in months now. He sends me e-mails here and there with the most recent being on Saturday.

I spoke to him 4 separate times last week Mon,Tues,Weds,Fri.

Frank,
Are you tracking your wheels? Where are they?

When they come ground UPS there isn't really any updates on where it is till it hits Georgia,but they are on time for delivery on Thurs plus Rick sent me a bonus in the mail:happydance:

Congrats man! Glad it's starting to come together for you!

Thanks but it's not over till I have taken them out of the boxes and find everything undamaged.

Sweet... you're off the list :tup:

Have you filed a dispute with your cc company or bank? It maybe too late... if that's the case, hopefully Rick will do the right thing and refund half the money you put down back in Feb. 2010.

I'll add you to the list Shu... no guarantee it'll help get your $ back but it's worth a shot.

It's good to see some progress in here, thanks Rick :tup:

was at rick's shop last saturday. no wheels yet even tho he said it would be in last thur n fri. not surprised. he said it will be in this fri. im off so ill be there that day. ok rick will ya come thru or is it more of you know what?

I feel like I'm the one that's going to get left out here. Haven't heard from him in weeks and i've sent a lot of messages regarding my order. I don't understand what he does all day...Does he just sit in his big empty warehouse and try to make us cry? That's what it seems like.

Well I just got mine today and I already have problems with the wheels the offset is too aggressive.

You got your wheels Frank? What the heck is wrong with them?

This isn't going well, two people have received their wheels and they both have issues. My invoice just has the wheel sizes on it and no where on there does it say my offsets I ordered. With two straight incorrect orders I feel like mine will be wrong as well. This whole situation is a mess.

Thanks!

I don't want to post it yet but you can check out my album that might set you on a good lead.

Wow...that's crazy! I'm sorry to hear that you didn't get the wheels you waited 8 months for. You're a nice guy man. I don't know how I would have handle that. I hope it's taken car of soon.

:shakes head:

I don't see how some of you guys hold your composure? That's why people continue to do these things. No consequences.

He probably doesn't come to his own shop much.:icon17:

Good lawd WTF is going on!
I can see if they are a new upcoming vendor making rookie mistakes but they're veterans at sending JDM stuff.

Since the members in this thread have waited longer than others. I figure they would make the extra effort by double checking EVERYTHING before sending it out... apparently it's not the case :shakes head:

The involving members have waited so long already I'm guessing they don't want to start over... er, they do but after the recent threat of filing a dispute Rick finally showed some action instead of false verbal promise.

And now the wrong stuff were sent... the waiting game continues until the right ones are delivered. I hope it all works out for abgyak and baer in the end.

Saw the pictures in your album bro... it seems like we have the same issues... my rears are perfect but fronts are waaaaaay out..... & you've got the wrong colour code as well :shakes head: 2wheels in a row.... if the third has the same issue i guess rick is doing this deliberately .... sending whats available on his rack & just send it out with his eyes closed..... just to buy some time to get the perfect ones.... :mad:

what specs did you order?

this is totally fckd up. few customers who finally got there wheels after waiting forever and now have problems with there wheels. thinkin all our wheels when they ever come in will have some problems as well. billy did rick give you a date when your wheels will be in? did he tell you thur or fri of last week like he told me? now he tells me this fri mine will be here. ill see rick then.

weird how only the fronts are jacked up...?

I didn't order it I told rick how my car was lowered on swift springs and I wanted it flush all the way around then he sent me a pic of his red car and I said just like that he said his were 20x9.5 +20 20x11 +15 so I said order the same wheels as on your car.

So... I think I answered my own question here.. Saw a post yesterday on Venaci Wheel's Facebook page.. Black car with what looks like new Gold Venaci Mesh wheels.. However they didn't have Work Wheels logo on them.. But they are like the exact same design as the Gnosis GS4's just without the bolts around the edge of the face of the wheel.

So it seems Venaci has become a knock-off company? Great. :shakes head:

I think I'll be ordering Work centercaps for my old Venaci Mesh wheels (made by Work)
