Venaci Wheels?

kooj_01 · 06-30-2011, 02:41 PM

Yeah and that's right about........now. Still no word from Rick for me. Sent him 2 messages and no response. I just hope when the rest of us start getting our wheels we don't run into the same issue as abgyak and Baer. If it's not one thing to worry about it's another.

It's a Holiday weekend so good luck getting any answers

Also after the Holiday they might be moving shops or the phone lines might go down

Why is an entrepreneur like a rhinoceros?
Because he never charges his friends.

What do you call an entrepreneur's bank account?
Exhibit A.

What do you call an entrepreneur's tax return?
The evidence.

Why is an entrepreneur like a locksmith?
Because he gets paid whenever he makes a bolt for the door.

If you do not have anything worth adding to help these people solve their issue or have anything constructive to remedying the situation please keep your remarks to yourself!!! you are just

or kicking the bee's nest...

WOW! 8-12 months for wheels?!!!!!

This company needs to simply have the sets in stock in the US with the perfect offset for the Z I don't see the need for custom offsets.

Having the customer wait (even 2 months) for a product is ridiculous and not a smart way to do business.
I'm glad I got the heads up somewhere else before I purchased anything from them.

Well, my wheels were suppose to ship out today but of course never heard from Rick. Tried to contact him but no response. Another shocker.

Yeah, I was pretty much expecting them not to ship but there was a pipe dream they'd start coming my way. I was at least hoping for an update.

The next call you get from him will probably be the tracking #'s

That's how it was for me a call out of the blue w/tracking #'s

I certainly hope so, I'm really not looking forward to having to buy two sets of tires.

hey billy i just spoke with rick today on my wheels. he sent mine out for powdercoating and should be done by next week. he also told me to tell you he got your wheels in and is preping them to ship to you. i guess hes going to be powdercoating them and assembling them maybe. give him a call and keep trying if he dont answer. he says they are at his shop.

sorry for late responses guys. i was away on vacation. just got back. i asked some of the questions that were asked on here. as far as tracking numbers, he told me that he uses our names as tracking numbers. i dont know if that makes any sense,but thats how he sets up the tracking numbers with our names. asked him too if the wheels are made in japan, rick said that the wheels are manufactured in japan by a company called tenasia(however you spell it). he said 3 major manufacturers make wheels in japan according to him. work, which he dont deal with anymore,rays and tenasia. hes using tenasia for manufacturing. these wheels wont have the work name on it,since its not made by work. these are venaci wheels and rick is confident in the quality of the wheels made by tenasia. the wheels are 3piece forged. when it comes to the assembling of the wheels, his guy at his shop is an expert at putting wheels together. this guy has been working for rick for awhile.

this is what rick has told me. it could be wrong and it could be argued. i know its hard to believe him after all that has happened. call and call like ive been doing. call and verify this info with him and the many other questions you may have. ill be heading over there fri july 8th to pick up my wheels. hope they are ready and to my liking. he has 2 numbers now at VIP STATUS- 310-327-7513 and 310-327-9938.

The company is TAN-EI-SYA, you would never guess the spelling unless you saw it written down

They make high quality forged wheels so at least we know the centers of the Venaci wheels are of quality (if they really come from there). TAN-EI-SYA manufactures wheels for Neez Wheels, RAC Monolites, etc..

It sounds like a lot of these issues are stemming from inexperience with assembly/ordering at VIP-Status. Customers are reporting leaking wheels, mismatched offsets/widths, etc.. An "expert" would not repeatedly make mistakes like this
