You're not alone. Lot of Driverz cheerleaders here! Apparently Jon can do no wrong.

Well I must have been one of the lucky ones I guess because in all my dealings with Jon Henson over the years...5 1/2 sets of wheels/tires for all my cars (including my DD),I never had an issue with the man and would trust him like a brother.

Until I hear from him specifically as to what's gone on here,I won't speculate and will certainly give him the benefit of the doubt.

I agree.... this particular vendor has gotten far too much "protection". It's too bad because Jon personally is a super good guy... but "bidness is bidness".

He didn't get, nor did he need, any "protection" when he and I did business. for Jon Henson from my point of view.

It's probably wise to wait until one has all the facts here before reaching a verdict.

i wont speak on southrods dealings BUT regarding your dealings it was all aired out (both sides) and i dont know about others but my conclusion was your situation wasn't john fault at all... cheer-leading's got nothing to do with it..

Your view is certainly NOT MINE, and cheer-leading has everything to do with it.

alright , im going to give you some of my story here..I have just found this thread after looking to see if driverz has been posting.. I am one of the customers who was caught up in the fikse/driverz dramas a few months back,, i waited over 10 months for my rims after numerous promises that they were ready to ship.. I dropped good money up front (10 months earlier) and waited and waited.. i had No contact until i made my frustration public by way of this forum.Then i got offered a deal to change to forgelines as mine hadnt been built yet after 10 months !. i was promised a fast turnaround of 4/5 weeks.. 2 months later i got my 'forgeline'wheels. i sold them a soon as they arrived as it left a 'bad taste' in my mouth.. so now without rims for my camaro i ordered a new set of american racers cl205s with who i thought was Jon ,, but i had a reply from a guy name 'travis'??? so ok i do some searching and see that he is the new owner.. so i order my rims ,, pay 'up front' and off we go again. 2 months go by and i send an email,, and i get a reply from Jon??? he says 'big dramas here' your wheels are ready .. so i wait a week and send another email (im in australia) so are the wheels there ? yes there here ready to ship but' we will be doing the goodguys show on weekend so dont be upset if i dont reply for a while?????
so now im not sure what to make of all this. Ive sent 2 emails this week with no response? Is goodguys been and gone? was he there setup? any suggestions guys , its hard as im downunder and i need some rims or my money back !!!.. Jon if you read this please reply and settle these issues as what im reading on forums is not creating any confidence in your customers.

There is no speculation or doubt as to what happened to me . Parts were not ordered ( about a month ) until i called ridetech directly to get the ball rolling then after another couple of weeks go by still no parts , ridetech calls Driverz & gets " there is no money to pay you " to make a long story short .
