Welp... tomorrow is the 24th and still no word from Rick.
I hope you can get your full refund back and the only thing lost is this agonizing wait.

My friend is on the same boat as you. He's still waiting on the partial refund they agreed upon a while back but nothing yet.

I will be filing a dispute to Paypal tomorrow evening if i dont get any word from Rick & there's no turning back!! I hope with information from previous PMs between me & Rick as well as links from threads like this will support the dispute & hope paypal can force rick to refund everything back...

Question. Why don't you guys just cancel your orders demand a refund and actually do something about it? I mean, if I was in this situation, I would do everything possible to get my money back whether that involves getting a lawsuit, police, the better business bureau ect. I simply would not stand for this. I know damn well these wheels are not cheap and especially not the final transaction price.

I guess I don't know how many actually have already paid this "Rick", other then those noted above, but, if you have, it's definitely not looking good or sounds like it will get better from what I have been reading on here and other forums.

I mean if everyone who is in this same "boat" files a complaint with BBB or another resource, that definitely going to raises a few red flags and get sh!t moving. It definitely doesn't look like complaining on here is doing any justice.

I'm getting frustrated just reading about everyone's problem with this company! Haha :D. Just wanted to help. Hope everything turns out for everyone!

And obviously there's plenty of other reliable companies on here that sell sick wheels. Not just VIP.

I also think this thread should be stickied.

Just my 2cents

Due to the false date(s) given by Rick time and time again gives them a glimmer of hope that their wheels/refund will be there soon so that their long wait wouldn't be wasted.... that's how it dragged on for so long.

Also, with Rick's good reputation and success over the years into account plus members telling you to wait, he will deliver and some saying cancel your order now is pretty hard to decide.

Up until now, I think everyone is ready to pull the plug on this if they're able to get their money back.

*sigh* GL everyone!

Don't get me wrong... Rick is a good guy when you actually talk to him. It's either he has this crazy cool aura that makes you want to believe in him or that he is a Jedi playing mind tricks with our heads. He was in no way a **** to us or anything... he just wasn't there when we needed him. Especially when it's our $4k+ on the line...

GL abgyak tomorrow! I hope to hear some good news (again). I pretty much gave up...

nevertheless, this deals nothing with a good person.

it means free of charge "with money the friendship does not stop"
he has concluded bills of sale with us, he is to be followed obliged this. this deals generally nothing with the friendliness of a person.

I have spoken with rick also very friendly, he is always friendly.:tiphat:
but I can buy nothing to myself from friendliness and I do not find with more than 4000$ it simply any more laughing to.:shakes head:

Over 110 posts in this thread and Rick is strangely absent. Has anyone heard from him in PM's or otherwise? I'd like to know what he's going to do about this.

Send a few pm's within the next couple days and act like nothing ever happened probably..

Spoke with him last week ...
 

I was going to order Spirits from him and s/w him last week; he also advised me of a 60 day delivery timeframe for the wheels ... just fyi.

I just tried to call him back yesterday to actually place the order and got a voicemail telling me NOT to leave a message. ??? A customer wants to place a $5,000.00 order and you don't have someone answering your phones ? ... returning calls to prospective customers ? ...

I'm glad I came across this thread because I haven't ordered yet. Hoping Rick jumps on here in his defense and there's resolution for the existing customers. I'm a little more than hesitant now.

as said
I wait not only for the Wheels.
My Body-Kit, HKS and Wing is more importantly, I have already paid that!
And this cannot really last 10 months or?

I bet he would say that he's so busy moving things down to their new place & didnt have any internet connection to log in the forum... Typical Answer!! Lets hope its not & hope there's a very good reason why he's neglecting all of us...

nevertheless, statuscompany moves just in (stands with Facebook) apparently no Internet is still available.

well, Rick has extinguished me as a friend already once in Facebook....:wtf2:

As far as I know Paypal doesnt cater any dispute after 60 days or so?

I still hope it works out for all the guys waiting. Just to see maybe you guys can pm another Work dealer here through whom i got mine last week the exact timeline required for your ordered offsets. As I contacted them in April they said they have something coming in may and then in May it was there and I bought it.

Well ... after digesting all of the above, I went with the Work Gnosis GS-2 instead. Pretty much the same / similar wheel, I think? Any thoughts on this ? Any GS-2 owners out there ... pics ?

I really wanted the Venaci Spirit, but there's just too much doubt as to the time frame in getting the wheels back once they're ordered. I spoke with Rick and shared emails with him, and he seems like a great guy; but I just can't get past all of the posts on here regarding the ongoing issues. 4,5, 6 or even up to 8 months delivery is a non-starter for me.

Where did you order them from and what was the delivery time quoted? Some of us may be looking for other options.
