First of all Welcome to PT!

Since we've seen this before David, maybe you can post up your name and company address (not on your site) and maybe a little background? There's been a couple of people stuck in the wheel vendor/reseller storm, so the more info you can provide the better. All respect and much success with your new new venture.

Welcome to PT, hope to see good interaction between you and all the wheel hunters and questioners

[SLO_Z28]

So it looks like on your site you carry Fiske and "VIP Modular". Do you carry any other lines?


What would a set of Profil 5's in 17x12 with a 7 inch backspacing? The same finish that is on your site?

Hey Ron and thank you for the welcome. I know where you are coming from. And its actually one of the reasons I decided to venture this way. I want people to have a positive wheel experience even through delays and setbacks. Its part of this business, but the way you communicate with your customers is the key.

My full name is David D Llerena. My business address is 17925 NW 49 Ave Miami, Fl. I primarily do business from my home. I started by building cars in my backyard. I then started tuning cars (which i still do). During the car building era i found a deep love for wheels. I ended up going through 12 sets of wheels on one of my cars. LOL. I then got into 3 piece wheels and was amazed of how good they looked. I learned how it all worked and started rebuilding them in a warehouse i use along with my friend. And its led me to this.
There are ALOT of wheel vendors out there, the main difference between me and them (I believe) is i take this personal. These wheels are expensive, customers trust vendors to deliver them one of the most important components of their car. I have been a customer most of my life. I know what it feels like to put out money and expect to get what i paid for. As a business i see it the same way.
That is the reason behind the "Your Wheel Confidant" phrase on my logo. I want to be known as the coolest most down to earth and honest guy in the business. i started here because i see the type of dedication and hard work you guys/gals put into your cars and i admire that. Its my kinda crowd.

Definitely! I will be here pretty much everyday. And if anyone has any questions, by all means contact me in which ever way is best for you.

Hey, that would be polished lips with clear anodized centers. A set of 17x12" would be 3155 plus shipping.
I wanna do something for you guys as far as some savings as our intro. LMK me if you have any other questions

We also have Kranson Forged available. Their page should be up tomorrow.

We are also planning on doing something really cool and different. We are going to offer a service where if there is a style of wheel you like and isnt readily available through us we can have it made for you. Also if there is a design you want made one-off we can also do it for you. I work along side a wheel engineer and designer and can make pretty much anything that can be made functional on a piece of billet aluminum. Im just trying to figure out what to call that service.

[Rod]

not directed at you or your shop, but will we be able to buy on the website, in time?

I just done with these secret price websites, I'm sorry, I'm really tired of that stuff, and tired of the whole PM for price stuff, just show me the price up front that's the way sales works

[Wheel Werkes]

Hey Rodney, I understand where you are coming from. Its kinda tricky setting a price on 3 piece wheels cause their are so many variables. BUT maybe i can do something like a base price listing.

Now do you mean you would like an actual store to click and buy type deal? Im definitely interested in your input.

[Wheel Werkes]

If anyone has any questions, input and or feedback please contact me. Email, PM, Phone which ever is best for you.

Just call it “One Offs, The custom wheel designer!"

yes an actual e-comerace web site, with a +/- per rim width, offset, diameter, finishes and so on, I set up many sites like that it depends on what shopping cart your using, (just 2 of the websites I have set up that way, Steves Camaro Parts and Gotelli Speed Shop) that's how we shop online (dont you?) you look, you select, you see price, you select shipping options, checkout and pay, there's a lot of money left on the table by wheel companies with all this, call for pricing sites

[Wheel Werkes]

Im actually going to look into that. I may even try this weekend to start setting one up.
How have you ordered wheels in the past?

[Wheel Werkes]

Just call it “One Offs, The custom wheel designer!"

I looking more for like a 1 or 2 word name to call it. Like the One Offs you mentioned.

I ordered online, not on the phone, I have no problem with that but like many I like to know up front what is needed from my budget for parts, I have to add it into the travel/event and support budget, I am in the market for new wheels next season the current rims have done well for 2 years heres my car at one of the Run to the Coast events, its been in magazines, I was just giving constructive advice

Thanks have a nice day

[Wheel Werkes]

I get where you are coming from. I really appreciate you input. Im going to see is i can out something together.

And nice Camaro man, when you want to talk about a new wheel setup just give me a call. And again very nice Camaro.

Ya One Offs would work great for that!

When ordering wheels, let's say Fikse per say, would we have to pay all the costs up front or just a deposit?

Only a deposit of 50% of the total is needed to start the order. Then when the wheels are finished the other half of the payment would be due.

BTW I want a Cuda. LOL
