I've had no problems reaching Jon by phone in the last 2 days. If he doesn't pickup I've had a return call within 30min. Before someone label's me a "cheerleader" or a "fanboy" let me say that I don't know Jon anymore than anyone else on here. I have never dealt with Driverzinc, only NewGen and this is my first transaction with them.

The invoice for my wheels/tires came from NewGen, has NewGen email addresses and different contact info from anything I ever saw in here or on Driverzinc website (now taken down). I'd like to think that someone ripping me off wouldn't bother answering the phone (even after hours once). I honestly think he completely stepped away and started over until he found out Travis wasn't in for the long haul.

Does that mean I'm not worried....no. After reading this I am definitely concerned and will have to think over the weekend whether or not I am going to pull the plug. I called him because this week is the 6th week of the estimated 4-6wk production time and I wanted an update/pics/something showing some progress. While he did answer all my questions and give me an update on where everything was at he also said it would be 2 more weeks. That's what really got me concerned. I've seen a couple threads on here where 6wks turned into 12-15wks, and I don't have that kind of patience or timeline.

I'd really like to think he's just dealing with the fallout of a bad business deal, but I'm not comfortable banking my $$ on it.

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...

You're more than welcome to your opinion. It wasn't really all aired out, I told my side of the story, Jon made a bunch of lame excuses and then the cheerleaders jumped in and trashed me for calling Jon out. A lot of members (both here and on pro-touring.com) PM'd (or called) me and shared similar experiences and thanked me for posting mine---because they were afraid to share their story for fear of being bashed by the Driverz-Inc cheerleaders. I'm amazed that after all the negative information that has come out since my original post, you or anyone else here could even begin to defend Jon or give credence to anything he has ever posted. The man is a pathological liar and a thief.

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.

That's based on my experiences with him, and I stand by it.

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