Thumbs down BIG WARNING: Enkreuz Wheels

Hi guys.
I want to warn you ALL from Enkreuz Wheels.

I ordered by wheels in the middle of February. Johnny @ Enkreuz promised me delivery within 5 weeks after the payment was made.

23'rd Feb - Payment was made - and the loooooong wait started...
After 5 long weeks i got an email from Enkreuz 6'th of April: "Your wheels are completed. I will take pictures of them for you this afternoon and email you the pictures. However, there seems to be a flaw in the finishing on one of the wheel. We noticed it when we were packaging it for shipping. So we are going to send that one center back for refinishing to polish out the blemish.

Johnny".

After this i've been in contact with Enkreuz Wheels and both Irwine and Johnny keeps telling bullshit stories about my delivery.

And today, AFTER 20 WEEKS !!!!!! i STILL HAVENT RECIEVED any wheels from Enkruz.

For me - its ALOT of money for a set of wheels, and i've saved my money along time for this buy.

With this thread, I just want to WARN YOU ALL from doing business with Enkreuz wheels. I've lost about $4000 because of this SCAM by Enkreuz.

That's why I only trust Racing Wheel Companies like BBS, ForgeLine, Fiske, OZ, etc. They Deliver.

+1 and HRE!

If you want a trustworthy company, try *******perts and contact Peter. He's a great guy and a local, he'll definitely deliver

NikeMan!!!
SAME HERE!! I ordered a set of H10R's for my E92 M3 directly from Johnny. Was told that credit card payments arent accepted due to bad past experiences. I would email with Johnny like 5 times a day before the purchase, back and forth, with him telling me that they have a set in stock, that I better buy it quick in order to have the wheels within 5 weeks...
THIS WAS 16 WEEKS AGO!!!
As of then (AFTER paying in full): no replies to my emails, with Johnny telling me on the phone (when i very rarely get him) that my emails dont get thru to him...yeah right, as soon as the money got thru the emails stopped working, right?
NO SHIPPING CONFIRMATION OR TRACKING NUMBER so that I could chase down the shipment myself...nada, even tho he repeatedly told me that he'll email me the info along with pics of my wheels. btw i was also told there was a flaw in the finish also, hence part of the delay. Standard tactic it seems.
I hope I'll get the wheels in the end as you did...but still..after paying over $4000 for a set this is absolutely ridiculous.
JOHNNY IF YOU READ THIS BUDDY I THINK YOU HAVE NO OPTION BUT TO GET UR ACT TOGETHER- THERE IS NO ROOM ON THE MARKET FOR SUCH AS ENKREUZ WHO DICK-AROUND CUSTOMERS WILLING TO PAY BIG BUCKS FOR HIGH END PARTS.

Don't ever buy wheels with cash or check. ALWAYS use your credit card. AMEX is the best. They really protect the consumer.

a NEW DEVELOPMENT in my case- maybe my post was read by those at Enkreuz
After 3 weeks of not being able to reach anyone at Enkreuz i finally got them on the phone- and heard that the wheels have found their way BACK to California. Back, i mean as in back, by land & water shipping, from POLAND. we're talking about like 6 weeks worth of shipping screw up...ugh. Air freight is only like $300 more, which at this point in time for me is worth it..got Enkreuz to cover half of the upgrade- cant figure why i wasnt offered this option in the first place, 5 days vs 3 WEEKS of shipping. So, optimistically, we are looking at me GETTING MY RIMS in like a week.
Keep ur fingers crossed gentlemen... after 20 weeks, getting these babies seems totally surreal

I'd want proof the wheels were in Poland and have been shipped back. This sounds like an excuse and story to get you to give them extra money.

omg...my wheels have arrived. after 8 months (!!!). I dont know what to say: speechless!!! I dont know which emotion is stronger- relief at not being scammed, frustration at Enkreuz for not being honest with me (tho truth be told, once the rims were ACTUALLY shipped they got in touch right away ), or excitement at finally getting those rims mounted in a few days. hallelujah

Yes, he did, but he sold his e92, so I bought them from him a couple of months ago.
