well.... I ordered a set of 20" Work Varianza T1s in BP finish for my G back in october. I opted to pay the extra $300 to have them air-freight shipped. 3 short weeks later, I get my wheels. Came to find out as I was opening the boxes that they were wrong. The correct size, finish & offset but the wrong lip. I ordered stepped lip not a full-reverse lip.

Chris from F1 was out of the country when I placed my order. He told me to order thru Aun, the owner of F1. I contacted Aun and informed him that the wheels came in wrong. 1 month later, the wrong wheels were picked back up by HRS enterprises, the import company F1 uses for orders. Aun told me that there wasnt any problems and that my correct wheels would arrive in another 3-4 week time frame. I was frustrated but was OK with the problem. Its not like they can shyt out another set overnight.

I came to find out that F1 orders thru HRS who then orders from WORK. What a mess huh?

My wheels are done (in Japan) and ready for shipment but HRS has a hold on them because F1motorsports owes them money. F1 is apparently not paying because I get the run around from Aun every time I call. Chris & Pat at F1 are well aware of the issue and have been tring to help me in every way possible. It looks like F1 is in financial trouble. My CC company cant do anything because its exceeded 60 days.

Im effin' stuck in a finger pointing game between HRS and F1 of who pays for what. Mean while the customer is absolutely being screwed over.
Every time I speak with Aun, he tells me hes "working on it." Aun never disclosed the real story. I had to find out from other sources. Aun is singing me the same sad story....."hes working on it".

In the end, I paid for a set of wheels in which I have not recieved yet. Either get me my effin' wheels or get me my money back.

Oh and by the way, Aun begged me not to post this in the forums but Ive ran out of patience with him. The world must know inorder to prevent others from coming across this problem.

 

Damn that is messed up. I suggest speaking with a lawyer.

 

Wow I hope that everything is all set. I know the feeling with getting the run around especially with wheels

 

damn man sorry to hear your troubles...hopefully this will get resolved the quickest way possible for you...GL

 

gorgeous wheels regardless. hope it gets cleared up.

 

That is very crappy situation, and hope that you can get it resolved asap.

 

F1 has always been a great company to deal with and Chris couldn't be nicer.
Hope your issues get resolved, waiting makes me nuckingfutts too!

Thanks fellas, I need all the luck in the world right now.

 

man, that is a horrible situation. but there is only so much patience you can be gracious to give. i would look into hiring an attorney or take them to small claims as a last resort. i know in cali, small claims caps off at $7k. good luck.

 

^I thought $7500


Anyways, man this sucks, i really hope everything gets taken care of!!!

 

hey i know the guys at hrs lol. i didnt know f1 go thru them.

 

if you're a corp, the cap is $5k but i believe it's $7k for individuals. i may be wrong, tho.

 

i wish you the best of luck

 

well...I filed with BBB.

I spoke with Aun just now and he bascially told me to do whatever I need to do. (basically, go fuvk yourself) Aun is refusing to give me my money back.

The beef is between HRS and F1. HRS effed up the order on the original set. HRS picked up the wrong wheels. The original set has been bought and paid for by all parties. HRS wants F1 to pay them for the new set (the correct set).

I understand F1's position but frankly its non of my business. I dont care who they owe money to. All I know is that I paid for some wheels that I did not get.

from what I understand, its HRS fault but F1 doesnt want to take care of their repeat customer. [me]

 

^Thats some fvcked up ****, i know i wont be getting my wheels from F1!!!
