No calls, No updates, not even a pm from rick to even let us know what is going on.
This is how vendors ruin their good reputation.

With so many variables that are our of his control, you guys are so quick to bash on him. He's done so many great things for the 350z community. He cannot control when manufacture schedules are, he cannot control when something is loaded onto a boat or when it leaves dock. He cannot control when it gets here or when customs clears it. All he does is place the order and ships it out when it gets to him.

While it maybe a long time for some of you, remember that this was the chance that you took when going with a custom wheel that needed to be ordered. If you wanted something quick, try ebay or your local rim store and buy something that you'll settle for and not something you really want.

If you've been keeping up with the thread... Rick has already said what you posted so

My friend ordered wheels from Rick before that's why he chose to buy from him again. It's custom wheels but got'damn it doesn't take 1 yr and a half... a god made wheels from heaven would have shipped to planet Mars by now.

Those would be the new concave VS-XXs that weigh -10 lbs. You actually lose weight putting those wheels on... and they spin.

Just trying to bring some humor in here.... MERRY CHRISTMAS FELLAS!

I have been keeping up with the thread actually and it goes both ways in that what has been said about rick and how long this is something has taken has been said over and over and over again. so I do believe your STFU should go o everyone here.

Merry Christmas errrbody!

I understand we're beating a dead horse here but this thread is about update status to those member who are still waiting for their wheels.

Blackheart posted an update... Rick said it himself it'll be in Dec 13th and no call or update from them since. Then Chebosto posted his comment WTF!? Really

Every time i get a ETA from Work that's what i tell you,but it seems like they keep moving the date on me.As you can see i'm just waiting also.Trust me i want to get everyone all the wheels and parts.
This is why we don't push some brand anymore !
I know it's been a long time for you albert,but we are almost there.
You been really cool and understanding.But that why i send those 18'' for you to roll on.You know you could of just use them you know.
And i never did that for anyone before.
They keep telling me any day now,so i should hear from them soon bro

I don't want to just keep telling you the ETA i get from them. So when i get a ETA that is 100% i will let you know right away.

Glad to see some of us here have good reading comprehension though; 4 order changes were made. Which would at least add in a delay of 16 weeks to the original order.

I understand my VSXX's are on delay...I'm not the only one...The 911 Porsche owners are going 6 months[STANDARD PORSCHE FITMENT]...Go read up on 6speed ....Vivid's customers are going on 24 week production delays as well....I should've gone with Venaci's just as someone here had suggested haha...lol 2 sets produced later than my order have been delivered and happily mounted.

Industrial assembly lines don't haut or retool their facilities just for one set. Until a batch order comes in they'll continue their preset jigs...Which adds further delay......






Customs/LOGISTICS is lagging

Main reason I buy either used or from what Forged Performance has on hand! I'm too impatient to wait X amount of months for a custom offset...*** that! Good luck to everyone.
