romak47 - your car looks insane!!!

I've now decided... getting the s drives and getting rid of my ad08s....
It should be fine with my fenders rolled as I am on KW V1 and cant adjust damper like you....

thanks for your info!

romak47 · 07-24-2011, 07:22 PM

the minor rub i got... i think i know where it is. where the bumper meets the metal paneling. Its not as bevelled of an edge as the other stuff.. Was thinking of just bending it myself but i am gonna have a pro do it just o make sure its done right.

cooler2442 · 07-24-2011, 07:33 PM

Yup got rubbing today with added passengers. Rubbing on rear passenger side. Gotta do a slight fender roll.

I'm gonna be lowering my ride with some kw v1 and will be rolling all 4 fenders. I'll let you guys know how it goes once it is done. Won't be happening for a little while tho xD

Rikx1M · 07-25-2011, 04:32 PM

alufelgen.....ithis is ridiculous...it's time to put up or shut up....I want to know if my rims shipped this past Friday as you stated for APO shipping.

Is anyone else frustrated by this total lack of professionalism?

You should give them a call, things get accomplished much faster via the phone instead of the forums.

Black Sheep · 07-25-2011, 04:39 PM

Totally frustrated... They clearly do not care... Matt's been telling me that he will talk to me later and he never does... I pretty much gave up on this lost cause.... Time to move on and deal with the loss and I hope they get no more business....

Click contact us.

Not hard to find a phone #.

I understand your frustrated but your circumstances seem to be out of the ordinary due to being outside the country and etc. I personally ordered on July 14th, rims came on July 22 and then I had them installed this Sunday. I ran into 0 issues dealing with Matt over the phone.

romak47 · 07-25-2011, 06:55 PM

I dont wanna hear it from you. Most of us that where actually part of this group buy ordered loooong before you.

The circumstances aren't that he lives over seas, there is no circumstances and there is no excuses, and many of them you have not had to put up with over the past few months..
So lay off and dont rub it in our faces that your the one single customer from Alufelgen with a satisfaction in getting these rims in a timely manner.

Rikx135's rims should have been shipped like 2 weeks ago or more. And if they have, why do they keep ignoring his request for a shipping invoice or just an email saying they are on the way?. At least then he can relax because he knows USPS is in control of the wheels and not an unresponsive Floridian company..

AND! it shouldnt take a damn international call to say "send me my rims" and get a response "ok they are on there way". Where in the age of the F''ing internet, email should suffice.

ALUFELGEN · 07-25-2011, 07:45 PM

We are forced to make a public response since things seem to be getting out of hand.

Rikx135 sends an email requesting us to hold shipment of his order until customers receive his wheels. ALUFELGEN holds shipment.
Rikx135 sends an email requesting for us to ship his wheels. Gunmetal.
Rikx135 sends an email requesting to change his order to Hyperblack. ALUFELGEN holds shipment until changes are done.
ALUFELGEN sends an email requesting a confirmation on the finish. Hyperblack or Gunmetal. ALUFELGEN holds shipment for confirmation.
Rikx135 confirms that he wants Hyperblack and sends payment for shipping.
Rikx135 sends an email requesting information on purchasing a 5th wheel. ALUFELGEN holds shipment pending confirmation on 5th wheel.
Rikx135 sends a PM requesting to hold shipment and swap wheels with member Romak47. ALUFELGEN holds shipment pending confirmation of Romak47. Confirmation was sent to us on July 19th. 6 days ago. . ALUFELGEN holds shipment for Rikx135i and changes the order in the system to SPORTS Gunmetal as requested.
July 23rd, 2 days ago, Rikx135 sends a PM requesting tracking information for his wheels when he requested on the 19th to swap with member Romak47. ALUFELGEN holds shipment pending confirmation.

I`m not here to enter into a debate with the members but we have to see both sides of the story. We have shipped over 100 sets. Why would we ship everybody's order and not his? Currently, orders ship within 24-48 hours. This explains our side of the story. What should we do in this case? We get an email every few days requesting something different.

At this point Rikx135i order is in the system as Sports Gunmetal and is pending shipment once the SG arrive.

Feel free to email me with any questions,

Matt

I want to change Rikx135i's shipment to Bronze and sent it to Mickey Mouse

604_e90325i · 07-25-2011, 07:58 PM

Can I see both side of the story regrading the center cap? I can't wait . I never ask you to hold my order or I never ask to change color, I actually ask you to send me whatever the design you have. But I didn't get a reply.

Wow , so you guys hold shippments as to confirm colors yet still send 20 people the wrong colors of light gunmetal??

Im not getting into a debate with you but i think some of that info is flawed because why would Rikx135i post this :

SO DO NOT SEND SPORT GUNMETAL RIMS TO ME!

Please send HYPERBLACK rims and center caps out this Friday to Rikx135 at APO AE 09063.

Please confirm receipt of this posting and ship this Friday!
