If you are out of more, I hope you get dealt right or your money gets returned. You know speaking of all of the "logging in under different names" back then I did notice that, but didn't give it much thought because I assumed everything was on the up and up with the sale back then. I just thought it was two guys who were friends doing a business deal.

Fortunatley, I am not out any money as I am not one of the unlucky customers. I just can't stand to see people ripped off their hard earned money so I figured this might be a way I could possibly help.

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 agree with you wholeheartedly. I have no sympathy for a liar and less for a thief. From the looks of it, and I repeat...from the looks of it he seems to be both. Notice I said "seems to be." I'm trying to remain as positive as I can about all of this hoping he will make all right.

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????

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...
