Ding ding ding. This come has been done time and time again. You guys need to stop giving him money and just order different wheels. And iirc Rick is part owner of venaci. So how is it work wheels come in on time if it's same manufacturer? Lol. Think about it. I personally don't have an issue with them I just can't stand ppl who rip off others. Especially after they gain their trust. This is a grade A con. And who cares if he's moving to a different warehouse or a different country. Business is business and bad business is what it is. To many excuses and spokes people. Where is the source??

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.

It should not be the same issue, I have friends that ordered Work wheels from other vendors and they did get their wheels in 2-3 months. This sounds specifically like a VIP Status issue.

I too have friends that have gotten their work wheels in a timely manner. I know stuff is shipping from Japan and yeah their a custom wheel but it's not like their hand carving them. All this stuff is done by precesion computers. It's 100% a VIP issue. I have bought everything from engine fluids to a twin turbo kit on this forum and never had an issue. On my invoice I have from VIP there is no order number in the spot designated which leads me to believe they weren't ordered when he said they were. My twin turbo kit was ordered through Vivid Racing and I paid lay away on it. When they sent me my invoice it still had an order number even though I hadn't fully paid the kit off.

WoW! I haven't logged on here for a few days cause we're moving to a new shop.And then this thread...Those who have been able to reach me in the moments I've been available, I have told them I'm moving and am a bit short handed.... I apologize for that.

Well first of all, for the group of people that are waiting for wheels, most of these wheels are coming out from Japan. Many of the wheels that are done are already inbound from Japan. From my correspondences, the wheels should be due to arrive near the end of June.

Long story short, when Work Wheels were building some of our wheels(Private Label), we were promised exclusivity in the Americas for certain models in their line. But as the line started to move move, we have noticed that many of our wheels were brought in without our knowledge through improper channels. Due to these issues, Venaci Japan has decided to use a different manufacture to build the new wheels. This allows more flexibility to bring the wheels in a 3pc and 1pc forged construction at a very competitive price. Quality is still of the utmost importance and will not be compromised. This new shift will also allow for faster build times so these delays will no longer be an issue. In addition we will also be able to offer more customized finishes.

There are already current back-orders that are being built with the construction and have already been delivered. i.e. Nitrous already received his set with the new 3pc construction.

I sincerely apologize for those that have been waiting so patiently. I know it may sound redundant, but it is on the way.
