Bottom line is no one should buy New Gen wheels or any wheel from Driverz Inc.
Jon may be a cool guy to hang out with at a bar or hang out with at a car show, but he just shouldn't be running a business. From all the complaints here and on other boards, to his stupid Jerry Macguire post. He should not be running a business. I wouldn't buy a valve stem nut from him.

Anyone ever notice that most of the local guys get their wheels and have no complaints, or the well known guys don't have any issues, but the guys that are out of state have the issues.

Here's where I'd start!

File a report with the Internet division of the FBI. Seriously.

I wasn't going to post this since I thought my story was a fluke but here it goes. I ordered my Fesler wheels from DriverzInc. They took 9 months to get here. After about 16 weeks I was getting VERY pissed off. Chris Fesler told me that they were never paid for (I left half deposit) so they never ordered from Asanti. Jon said that it was Feslers fault. There were a lot of fingers pointing on who was at fault. Finally it got to the point to where I was going to do a chargeback on my card.

I started dealing with Fesler directly. Well I finally got my wheels after dealing direct to the source.

Jon did always answer his phone and give good customer service when I called him everyday looking for my missing wheels.

I disagree. I've seen the wheel fitment on Lee's car in person, and just because they bolt onto the car, doesn't mean they fit right. Tire profile is wrong front to rear, the fronts rub the control arm at lock, etc. It's those "crazy" wheel wells...

Lee learned the hard way, and now Forgeline is re-hooping the wheels at Lee's expense. I'm sure the deal could've been resolved with Lee and Driver'z if Jon tried to work with him on re-hooping the wheels. Jon could've given him a price break (not loose money, just not make as much money) but quoted him full retail price instead. That's not good customer service in my opinion.

So, cheerleading did have something to do with it...

Yeah -- his delivery SUCKS....

I think I was lucky and actually got them (and the wheels) but the packaging was so horrible it's only because I'm the luckiest guy alive that they got here without damage.

At the time I posted and thanked him for the transaction - just supporting a vendor/supporter here... but I should have been far more honest and said how I really felt.

I could have gotten the wheels and tires from Tire Rack in 3 days... not a couple MONTHS after ordering.
