We have been having issues with dealers using their customers money on other things then their customers call us saying they ordered wheels 8 months ago, then they put the blame on us so we feel like the bad guy and end up pushing their wheels through. I guess it's a good thing we manufacture our own wheels so were not in the same boat. :P :patriot:

Just be aware beyond 90 days any cc charge may be more difficult to chase up, you might be getting close to that 90 days now.
Shouldn't be too much issue re-stocking an off the shelf set of wheels too. Google "american racing custom wheels" and I got this + a few more leads... http://asp.americanracing.com/bottom...p?section=cont http://wikimapia.org/11356609/Americ...-Equipment-Inc American Racing Custom Wheels 19067 South Reyes Avenue Rancho Dominguez, CA 90221 Phone: 310-761-4915. Fax: 310-608-0297. If you want attention I'd chuck a 001 in front of the number above and see where that leads, pretty big company so I think you might have more luck emailing Jon than them. Fingers crossed for ya! |

Thats why I said MAY, cause the local guys around him are always sticking up for him. I see it the same way you do Lenie, thats why I said I wouldn't buy a $.50 item from him. |

Well I know who i'm not giving my business to when i order my wheels!!! I totally agree with boycotting NewGen wheels too.
|
Glad I caught this thread. I was about 1 day away from ordering up a set of VWW from Driverz. I'll steer clear of this mess and just deal with my bent wheel for now.

Maybe this would be the best thing as it may put the final nail in the proverbial coffin and close down what seems to be an unscrupulous company. Also seems that Mr. Hensons company is working without any usable day to day capital. Not a good way of running a business. John |

i agree that friends are friends and bus is bus, but in my experience the good guys are both friends and the guys i buy parts from. ive never had any bad experience and then said, "but id have a beer with him". if somebody is f-ing me over, id rather pound their face and shove the bottle up their arse instead.
im not a jon cheerleader like some others on here, but ive met him and cant see him doing this. maybe my character judging skills are way the heck off, but this doesnt make sense to me. get your money back that you have invested and all the other nay sayers need to just hold off and see what happens. i know hes focused on newgen, and newgen WILL NOT survive with this mess. give him some time to figure this mess out and he will come through. i hope im not proved wrong. btw, mike @ muscle rodz, mark @ sc&c and tobin @ kore3 are some GREAT vendors for parts. but you guys already knew that:yes: |
Driverz Inc.
I had my 69 towed from Driverz last week (long story). Last I heard everything blew up on the deal and Jon sold everything @the shop and was filing BK. So anyone that is owed money/product from them I would put in a claim asap & cross your fingers.
I'm out another $650 for a new set of axles just to get my car back on the road after dealing with them for the last year on a bad suspension install they did. But at this point I'm just happy the car wasn't damaged or lost while at his shop! Btw, Travis looked like a kid just out of high school so I wouldn't count on him solving anyones problem. I'd be talking to Jon! |

This whole situation stinks. I am with several other people on here in that I managed to dodge a bullet by deciding at the last moment to deal with someone else on my wheels.
From reading the timeline on here and at yellowbullet it sure smells like this "Sale" was a poorly set up scam to buy time while arranging for a favorable bankruptcy after the money that was paid in quietly disappears into daily operating expenses and small cash withdrawals for "petty cash expenses" I sure hope the aggrieved parties follow through and pursue criminal actions as needed. It never ceases to amaze me just how many broke people "find" 10k or more when it is that or go to jail. There is little doubt in my mind from these accounts that there were orders taken when the management had no intention of paying manufacturers for the product as agreed. While It is still possible that Jon is a stand up guy and this has all been a misunderstanding but the odds on that are looking mighty slim atm. (not sure I would gamble on that at 50:1) |
ok , here we go all ... ive had contact and its not good.. just for the cheerleaders heres a transcript taken straight from my private email ...
he lied his arse off ... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gavin, Yes ready to ship. Travis bailed, (LONG STORY) but I'm left picking up the pieces to close these things out. Same shipping information as before, correct? IF so, I'll put it all together and send you the info. We're leaving for the Good Guys show in San Diego, so I may be delayed a day or two, FYI, so you don't think you're being ignored if I don't respond right away.

and this today ... from his facebook account...:mad:
Jonathan Henson:unibrow: Call your credit card company now and charge it back as soon as possible. Driverzinc is not going to fill any more orders, and there's nothing I can do about it, your money went into the DriverzInc account, and there's nothing I can do about it now. . |

i have contacted my cc company and they will investigate..They said it takes 6 weeks ..??? i told them the story and they report it as non recieved goods that you paid for? i will push it more after the weekend.
on the other side of things ,, he (JON) took my money $1400 on the 13/2/2012 and said the order was placed , then he has said he picked them up , then he had them in the shop ready to ship..If thats not fraud/theft i dont know what is?? thats as blatant as can be.... ive had numerous emails today from other guys that have spoken to him as recent as today and he is still telling them there wheels are on there way.. |

i am either missing something or your posts got edited. theres no wrong doing that i see other than him being delayed (which sucks but not criminal). i dont see any attempt at fraud. but then again, i think your posts must have been edited and it dont see anything about facebook????
|
I too just looked at his FB page and see nothing that was mentioned here...:rolleyes:

SORRY, SOMEBODY HAS TO SAY IT..... Don't be an idiot. Pull the plug. Lots and lots of good wheel manufacturers out there. You know. The kind that don't rip people off. They don't lie. They deliver when they say they will. |
I reported mine on 3/8 & the credit card company had it resolved & credited my account the 6600.00 on 3/19 . They didn't seem to have a problem with mine but it was less than the 90 days , circus started the first week of January for me .

Damn...I guess I got lucky. I ordered a set of the Twist Machine Bezels from Driverz...got an email from Jon to call him on his cell, which I did. He told me good timing as he was at the bank and I got my order in 4 days...A few days later and I see all of this going on...Just seems strange that his Facebook page etc would be "open" with all of this going on? Especially if this was your way to make a living the past few years...an explanation would be nice, even if it isn't what people want to hear...

Bummer
I am lucky my project is moving slowly since I may have ordered a set of NewGen performance Lites and would have got caught up in this shiiii....
I feel the pain some of you are suffering. I've gotten burned a couple times by thieves only for a couple hundred bucks or less but it still sucks. Call the CC company and open a claim. File a report with the BBB. Don't sit around and get taken. |

If he's calling people why is he not coming on here saying what happened?
