This so redonkulous!!!! Rick should refund the people who waited so long so that they only paid cost price. I don't know how you could wait so long. I would of charged back awhile ago and order from somewhere else. Hopefully you'll get them before March '11...

^ Werd.
Hes a good guy who put his faith in Rick to get him his wheels and paid alot of money for them (they worth every penny tho bro), for over a year....chit pisses me off.
I know he can fight his own battles and all, but the chit is just getting rediculous now. Stogey u know how nice this cat is, and i cant help but think Status just took advantage of that.

I was told the same thing. Would be nice to get a choice like rays, work, etc. but I doubt anybody will get anything at this point. just lucky enough to get our wheels.

I was told by Rick, that in japan, Companies like WORK and VOLK dont work during december. Production stops and delays the entire process. Also other factors are the wheels that are being requested. if there isnt a high order, then the companies just have to wait till a certain amount of wheels is requested.
Sounds legit and probably is since there is also other factors in play,(ex Authentic vs Replica wheels)
However, Why have the wheels been delayed this long? "60-90 days wait" to recieve a shipment is just a line to sell more. More than likely its always going to take longer. Unless you pay for air shipping, major $$$.
my order is way overdue, however rick did send me a loaner set of wheels for a car show, Rays Gramlights for import reactor this past april, too bad I only got 3 out of the 4of the wheels on time. Somethings are just out of his control. Thanks UPS for Effing that up. So I still hold Rick's wheels to this day, been trying to sell them (requested by him to save the hassel of shipping them back)
Hopefully wheels will be in before December. I refuse to wait longer than that.

Mr.Zipp (I think) - guy who did headlights
theblackpearlz
SGP
Autoinfantry
The promises that were made but never fulfill.
The run around excuses to 1 or more members... etc.
Status is answering their calls and not ignoring them entirely... this is a good thing.

Blackheart, the first set of rims I received did not come with lugs either. I hope Rick comes through this time around if not no biggie I'll order some. I think he has had this new shipment in since Halloween, I'm just waiting for mine to ship out. He sent me pics of the rims I ordered, I just hope those are actually mine. What you say road trip to Cali?

These guys have nothing to do with the company Vip Status wheels right? The guys that are making knock offs of weds that crack at the spokes?

Ken at auto shine took forever to return my calls when just asking about simple info on the nismo v2 front bumper. All I wanted to know was if they had them in stock, and if so how long would it take to ship out?
Never got final word from him but yet his reputation stood out at the time.
Same thing with other "Reputable" vendors on this site when trying to ask for info or ordering items:
Coz "Akebono BBK"
JDMZ33 "Blitz replica spoilers"
vividracing "HKS exhaust"
Peter@m1autosport -major loser right here who scammed everyone
etc.. got many more I could mention.
I left them all pms, voicemails, texts, you name it.
Communication is always the key. We just need to be informed of whats going on with our orders.
