and I wonder if F1 owed them a lot more money than just your wheels is why. for 2500 bucks for a company to drop like this is stupid.

congrats on the resolution.

Chris, who is an employee of FI took care of you when the owner would not step up? How fcked up is that?
yup, thats right. Effed up isnt it. I'd love to meet Aun in person one of these days.


and I wonder if F1 owed them a lot more money than just your wheels is why. for 2500 bucks for a company to drop like this is stupid.
They owed them over $5k. could have been my set and some other dudes set. Who knows, it could of been much more than that. Chris wanted them to release my set so he negotiated with them to allow him to pay for that one and only set. Aun still owes Chris 2k in wages that he hasnt recieved either. Now thats taking care of you emplyees, isnt it. Theres prob some dude out there still waiting on his wheels.
No offense but its hard to speak to an individual with a heavy accent. Arguing with Aun was a nightmare.

Yeah - kinda like what is said above. Don't be all on the employee Chris's jock like he's doing you this huge favor until your wheels are sitting in your garage with no strings attached. Make your final judgement once it's all settled, not before!

I used to work at F1 and I believe most of people in this and G35 forum bought the wheels from F1 because of me and my service NOT because of F1. That's why I can't let my customer sitting with no hope and I just pay in advance and trying to sell whatever F1 has in stock to get my money back. I used to do it many times when company has no money and I was still working at F1. Because I need to keep my word what I told to customers. But this time is little bit different because I'm not working at F1 anymore. I just need to go to F1 and sell something and get my money back. Lucky that I'm still have nothing to do and it's only Ralph. If it's happen to more people not only Ralph. I can't help for sure. Like I told all my customers, I quit from F1. I may get out from this business and do something else and may come back in this business later. I may be work for other wheels company or may start my own company. I have to look to further too. I need to have a feedback. I know how can I get my money back from F1. I know it sounds crazy and hard to believe.
Thanks for all support
Chris

Same thing happened with me and F1.. i ordered trunk hatch struts and 3 weeks later they finally told me they were shipping them out.. I get them, there the wrong ones, send them back and he tells me it'll be 2 more weeks.. I was just like "hell no" money back please, threatened to go to the BBB or AG. and got my money back in 3 days..
good luck man

Can't wait to see the new ones. So did they end up selling the "wrong" set that came in previously?

Last I heard, another vender ended up picking up that set from HRS. Im assuming someone bought them.

Im not sure exactly how it works but from what I understand, and I could be wrong, if someone orders a particular setup, I wonder if the wheel vendor does a search of who has those wheels instock. I wonder if they have some type of dealer network where they swap and buy wheels from one another. I guess picking them up from someone else in the states who cant move that inventory is better than ordering a fresh set from Work? I dont have a clue....dunno..

The only reason I think this is because that first set I ordered, I got in less than 3 weeks time. Theres no way they got made and shipped over seas that fast. Plus, I remember Aun saying something that they were coming from Hawaii.
