Ouch, yeah i've been peepin my370 at times. Damn, I had to send my wheels to a shop here near dallas. The wheel didnt seal right! So, I had to put on my old wheels back on...So, Rick is going to take care of the bill..

 

^^^ good luck with that man!

 

i havent checked this thread in awhile. but just coming to see whats new, people are getting their wheels with those problems?? Air leak? Assembly Errors? Jesus, Im shocked VIP is still in business after all of this. I know for sure anyone reading these forums will never buy from them again. I know i wont.

 

Here is what a "friend" of Rick has to say about VIP Status's customers and their issues. All this was posted in an area where only premiere members on the 370z forum can see...

His clientele is really all upperclass/higher end cars. He does this as a hobby but i told him you have to control your flow and be realistic with your time frame with your stuff. He knows but he chooses not to respond. He will respond when the time is right.

Those wheels are not knock offs. It has work logo on em so how the hell could it be knock offs? Some people in that threar say stuff just to say it. Saying the truth im ok with but lying about the offsets your ordered and saying its ricks fault *** that.

If you have nothing to do with it simple stay out. i could have gladly game them updates....but chose not to.

 

Thank you for posting this!!!

 

Jamaica has been holding on to VIP's ***** for months. Not surprising.

VIP has gone way beyond "dropping the ball" for these guys. I ordered a body kit from him about six months ago and got it in a decent time frame undamaged, thank god.

Had I known about all this I would have just ordered from Shine to begin with and called it a day.

 

What is the other link that everyone is talking to Rick on?

 

I tried linking the thread but for some reason it doesn't link up so go to the 370z forum.
Do a search for VIP Status and it should be under Venaci wheels thread.

 

christ almighty!! I feel bad for everyone still waiting for wheels

 

i hope everybody gets their wheels!

 

Thanks stogey im gonna peak that tread

 

anyone get a hold of rick lately?

 

Got ahold of him last week Friday... Said my set will be in before Aug.

 

How did you get a hold of him. Can you share his contact information?

Thanks!

 

I kept calling VIP status. They pick up.....................eventually.

 

You just have to call a couple times, So update with my wheels. They are getting re-sealed because they weren't holding pressure..Rick is taking care of this one.

 

Rick, could you please call wheel experts and tell them what's going on?

 

is this thread dead. =(

 

Anyone have updates to these statuses?
