Venaci Wheels?

That guy appears to be clueless

Venaci is a brand, not a manufacture. In the past, it was apparent that Work Wheels was the parent company manufacturing the Venaci brand (Work engravings, Work valvestems, etc..). As of now it is not so clear who is manufacturing or assembling these wheels for Venaci/VIP-Status. On multiple occasions we've seen Rick mention "we are waiting on the centers". To me this could mean two things..

1. The wheels are coming from Japan however once here they are dissembling them so they can offer custom finishes (Gold, Purple, whatever..). The assembling is then done in house at VIP-Status (by someone who is inexperienced as we've already seen multiple wheels leaking) and shipped to the customer.

2. The center forging is not done by Work Wheels anymore but instead a local company in the US. This would explain why the wheels no longer have Work engravings and also the lack of quality control during assembly.


You won't get a straight up answer from Rick so it's up to one of you guys to do some investigating
