@#!$%#@$%$@!$#!@$#@!$#!@


Still no wheels caps... I got these rims back in April 15th.... shop didn't order until May 20th, after all this time, wheelpower still hasn't received their shipment of "wheelcaps". After they get the wheelcaps, its going to take another week to receive it in the mail.

I'm going to be so pissed if I dont get these wheel caps for the June 14th meet. Its just ridiculous that it takes 2 months to get wheel caps! Cmon now!! its June!!!! I got wheels in April!!!

:thumbsdown:


Sorry, had to let out my anger somehow cause there's no one to yell at.....



P.S. If anyone takes pics of my car at the meet, please photoshop me some wheel caps.. that'll probably be the closest thing that comes to my wheels for wheelcaps..

Sucks bro. How come you didn't have wheel caps to begin with? I hope your vendor is taking care of you and going the extra mile to make you happy.

Caps didn't come cause it was cracked.

Its pretty much out of the vendor's hands and just waiting on wheelpower.. which seem to be taking forever.

I've called them everyday the past two weeks and they said, oh we're still waiting on the shipment.


Ludicrous!!


Know of any wheelcaps that you can send me Ryan? anyone that has rads..? like the Chang?... lol. j/p


And I think the only thing I get to to make up for this is a "sorry." I don't think anyone gives a crap anymore. They just want to hang up with me cause i bother them everyday...

I really hope that's not the case.

It's funny because I had a bad experience with Wheel Power as well when I got my first set of wheels. Originally, I had a set of Hamann HM2's chromed that I bought through a vendor that got them from WP. Whoever WP used to chrome it fucked up on one of the wheels and you could tell they redipped it. But when they redipped it, the wheel lost all detail. It made the finish look goopy, like it had too many coats of paint sprayed on without properly drying. Mind you this is after waiting 6 weeks for them to chrome the wheels in the first place.

Anyway, I think they gave me like a 100-200 bucks off to shut me up. But to make things worst, after my first wash... the chrome on 3 of the 4 wheels (including the fucked up one) starting flaking off! It was ridiculous. Luckily, the vendor I bought it from thought it was bullshit as well and made WP take them back.

So I feel ya buddy. There's always mad lag when trying to get the parts you want. BTW, if I see the_chang around, I'll try to jack his wheel caps for you. j/k Mike! (the_chang's name is Mike too)

Chrome's easy to keep clean and shiny.

Update on wheel caps:


Oh Guess what, there is no update, cause Wheel Power still hasn't received my caps... its been almost a month.. and its going to be 2 months since I've had the rims..


What a crock a sh*t.....

I mean, they are a company that sells wheels and when selling wheels, you should have all the part necessary to sell items and orders, especially if u are an authorized dealer right? Well, Wrong... cause seems like Caps itself takes 3-4 to make. When a wheel itself take far less...


I've called 3-4 times this week and get the same thing, oh the shipment should come soon, we have your order, we're just waiting for the shipment... which makes me think.. Is there a shipment? am I getting the runaround? If there's a shipment, isn't there a tracking #? stores just don't get shipments at random, they have things delivered timely, so they can distribute accordingly.


F*CK! This sucks.



And to top it off.. my darn spoiler is painted wrong... at least I can go back to to shop and fix it somehow. But the shop is going to laugh at me cause I dont have wheelcaps....
