well i just checked my credit card statement online and the wheels charge has been removed. woohoo! i dont know exactly what happened between the credit card company and the wheel place...but it only took them a week to remove the charge. ill call the card company tomorrow to see what wheels boutique had to say....looks like it was a shady deal to me...because if they actually were going to ship the wheels i would have had them weeks ago and i wouldnt have had to go through all this.

now i have to start looking for new wheels from a reputable place....

 

I got mine today from Vic... no problem, no hassle. Just a long butt wait. I asked him if there were any Silver SF challenge at Mackin.. he said none with the latest shipment for our RX-8.

So either WB is BSing Smrx8 about the status of SILVER (not Mercury) or they are getting them from another vendor and not directly from Mackin.

 

congrats to velocity on getting your money back :D and good choice on wheels outlaw! i wish i could see your car one day -___-

 

We did see each other on the freeway ONCE :P

But ya, you can always find me in Cerritos... I love this city. Don't you come home for the weekend?

Btw, I'm still showing my UCI pride even though I've graduated forever now... Alumni, Zot Zot!

 

haha yah i come home every weekend and i love cerritos too, irvine is great as well :D ZOT ZOT!

 

Well guys lookes like these guys are bull shitting me too .i called them to get a tracking number and the guy who answered said he didnt have one or new of anything i said who knows he just click the line on me and send me to a vice mail of a guy from shipping .I guess its not ment to be i will report it to paypal if i dont get a tracking number by tommorow i want a turbo anyways.So maybe things happened for a reason.

 

smrx8, try to get the money back ASAP, they are having some serious issues over there... I've seen other forums on the EVO and 350z sites that have said WB is screwing them too. Maybe they are going bankrupt?

I knew it was a bit suspicious since the price of the SF was a bit lower than even Wheeloptions Vic gives out, and they WILL beat any price. Also the fact that they said Silver is available, and it's not... Mercury Silver ya, and Gun Metal. Even Black coated, but not Silver on Silver.

Clarification... the Silver/Silver option can be bought, but as of right now, none of them came in the recent shipment from Japan for our cars... +40- +42 offset 19"s is a bit wacky, so they can't make them until a bunch of orders for them comes in. :P

 

smrx8 that sucks so bad...definitely report it immediately to paypal otherwise wheels boutique will drag it out as long as they can. everytime they transferred me to the shipping dept all i ever got was a voice mail too. this happened several times. definitely report them...they need to be shut down. if you do decide to wait for a tracking number...make sure it is real. when they finally gave me one it was never updated even though they claimed the wheels were picked up by ups. when i talked to ups they said they were never asked to pick them up. Start the process of getting your money back now or else you will be waiting for a month like me.

 

yeah i tryed calling again nothing i guess its ment to be do i smell turbo :D

 

i agree...it must not be meant to be...time to move on to bigger and better things!

 

Well just finished reporting them to paypal .i hope i didnt jump the ship i would feel really bad.

 

Dam not even 20 minutes after i report them and i got 4 calls from them to bad i missed them i was in the shower.

 

smrx8--any wheel update??

 

Nope he said he would give me a refund yesterday but didnt happen.

 

keep on them till you get that money back...the more people i talk to the more horror stories i hear about that place...seems like just about everybody has had a bad experience with them.

did they ever say that they got the wheels or didnt he give you any type of explanation?

 

yeah said they got the wheel but when they looked at it it was thr wrong offset
lieing bastards
