Man, that's not what I wanted to hear lol. Is your car dropped? Rick told me he is going to test fit them on his car before he sends them to make sure they fit right. I'm trusting his prior experiences to make a good judgement call on how they look. He also said he will send me pictures. If mine stick out I'll just order some wider fenders cause I don't feel like waiting for wheels again lol.

What e-mail is he using?

Rick also sent me an e-mail regarding info on the wheels. He says the forged center is made in Japan, but not by work. I'm assuming it's the company you guys refrenced last page. The hoop is mad in USA I take it. By doing it this way he says if we damage a lip he could change it out for us right away by not having to wait for it to come from Japan. All the ones they use to get from Work, were a 2 piece weld cast wheel so they couldn't take them apart. Now, they are 3 piece full forged. That's all the info he gave me on the process and he said he'll send me some pics before he ships them. Glad we got some light shed on the process. I'm excited to see the finished product.

venaciwheels@gmail.com is the one I have.

Well I guess he just doesn't like me then. I haven't heard anything since the 6th. I've send numerous messages and tried calling and e-mailing. WTF :mad:

Edit: Scratch that. He just replied. I feel better now.

A miracle has occurred

Nice man. I'd love to get one of those

Yep I'm on Swift springs,and what makes it worst is I didn't pick my offset's Rick did he sent me a pic of his car and said it will look like this,well the back did but the front didn't that's why there going back.

One quick q, a few of you said that the wheels arent made my work anymore. When he sold them to you all did he say they were works? (advertising works?)

When I was purchasing mine I was under the impression that they were Work wheels, but Rick didn't sell them to me as Work wheels. When I was reading around before pulling the trigger I read they were made by Work and that's what pushed me towards the Venacis. When I orginally placed my order I believe they were still made by Work.

Yeah, I didn't pick my offset either. I guess well see when they come.

Hope its going out well for you!! Happy 4th to ya all BTW...

Today my body kit and wing has finally arrived.:happydance:

Now you can find me in the "waiting list" should be deleted.
Good luck to all those still waiting.:tiphat:

Dennis

Please post up a picture of your parts before and after.

23 days till end of July 2011!! By then i should at least hear something from Rick that my front VSXX is in his hands!! How i wish i can fast forward the date & time....

wow congrats man...yeah take some pics for us. :pics:

Man this thread is long...lol I need some time to catch up.

Anyways, I come from My350z forums and I have been addressing my issue there. I have order Rims from VIP Status and waiting for my refund. Below is what I have ordered.

Date Order: 08/26/09

Works VS-XX Gold Rims
Specs: 19x9.5 +15 R Disk Black Bolts, 19x11 +15 O Disk Black bolts

Tires: Toyo T1R 235-35-19, T1R 275-35-19

As of right now, Rick has only given me partial refund and he still owes me the full amount. I have been trying to get a hold of him, but it seems that his phone line is not working.

Does anyone know the best way to get a hold of him along with the location of his new place?

I'm not sure of the new address but the easiest way I get ahold of him is via e-mail. The e-mail I have is venaciwheels@gmail.com. Good luck man! I can't believe you've been waiting that long.

thank man! Yea, I have been waiting for a long time. I been super busy to keep up whats going on.

Sunday is the bodykit fitted.
then I send pictures:tiphat:

Still no wheels, but Rick sent me a teaser pic of one of my rears. It's nice to actually see some results.

Rick got my kit today and said he would be shipping it out on Monday...ill keep yall updated.

:tup:

Rick sent me my UPS return labels for front wheels I sent them out yesterday,they are suppose to be back to me by Aug 1.:ughdance:

Rick has also sent me an update saying that a lot of the centers are in and that the wheels should be shipping out soon. He also sent me a picture of a set. Hopefully this means that we will all have are orders filled soon. Let's also hope that the offset issue has been taken care of and we all get the correct sizes. But things are def looking better for us all.

The last deadline Rick gave me was the 15th-20th of last month. I have sent 4 PM's since then with no reply. I have been waiting 7-1/2 months and I still have:

No wheels
No tracking numbers
No contact

I'm glad it may be working out for some of you but I have nothing.

I have sent Rick many emails, but he has not yet to response to me yet.

Does anyone know his phone number by any chances?

I've learned that he doesn't reply unless he has an update for sure.. Out of 10 email's he replied to one and only one when he had the kit in hand. That's just my experience though.

I'm pretty sure this is his new one, 310-327-9938.

Well, now this is going to get ugly.
 

I couldn't be more pissed. I've seen the teaser pics and apparently the "new" Venaci Spirit wheels are different than what they used to be. The dish of the hub, profile of the spokes, the rim bolts and even the rounded rim lip is different from what I ordered way back 7-1/2 months ago. I know these may appear to be subtle differences to many people, but I don't like it. This is not what I ordered and I don't want them. All this adds to the highly questionable parts supplier and absolutely no assured quality specifications. Now I need to pursue a full refund from Rick. I will accept no other options. This should be fun. Mark at Ravspec will be getting a call from me soon to get some real wheels.

EDIT: I can't get the comparison pics to show up, but they're in my albums.

Gozfast,

I will say after owning the work gnosis/venaci wheels... that new lip is an upgrade from the old ones in the teaser pics... the old ones were hard as hell to repair and clean! So the new design is smooth rather than angular? that is the only differences I see and I have owned the work gnosis/venaci wheels already. I also believe the work gnosis/venaci wheels were 2 piece and these new ones are 3 piece... 3 piece is going to give you better customization and in some cases alot lighter... I hope you get it all sorted out. has rick already shipped you your wheels?

mike

Yep.. see my post a couple pages back.. The new Venaci lineup are basically replicas now. No longer made by Work. Sorry man. Hope you get your money back.

I haven't heard from Rick for weeks. The last deadline he gave me was the middle of last month.

I know the changes to the new design are subtle, but they remind me of some cheap Enkei's now and it's not what I ordered. That and no QA specs and I don't want them.

Quick question after reading all these post. Why is everyone spending major money and way to long wait times on work custom 3 piece wheels and then still running spacers... That seems crazy if they are custom wheels they should be built around the caliper.

True.. but like the Vsxx wheel, they have a weird disk and spoke clearance, so a spacer is required because an offset that fits the bigger brakes isn't made I'm guessing.

Hence why i bring it up. Work uses the easy way out. They have pre determined centers. Instead of cutting each center per order. Anytime you order a custom wheel no spacers should ever be needed.

So they aren't really "custom" wheels. Then why the heck does it take them 8 months to make a wheel that is pretty much mass produced?

Not really sure! :: shrugs shoulders ::
