Officer Dugan February 28, 2011
Not very on top of their game
BBB says the company is Out of Buisness. They aren't the Website is still running and I purchased a Wheel from them on February 24th. It is now Fubruary 28th. However it says 53 complaints in the last 3 years which dropped from something like 126. It says on BBB, Out of Business. According to information in BBB files, this company is no longer in business. If you have an unresolved dispute with this company you may wish to seek legal advice. It's not out of buisness though? Hm I dunno. Anywho back to my order. I bought a single wheel from them less than a week ago. I didn't know about this companys horrendous service until after the fact. Technically I do not have a case in which I would be concerned about... Yet. I called and ordered to make the process a little bit easier for me to know that we were on the same page as to which wheel I wanted. Derek answered in less than two minutes of me being on hold and I asked I would like to check the status of my order in which he obliged very nicely I told him my name and he got my order right up and said he will check more about my order and put me on hold for 1 minute and said if I recieved a confirmation and told him I did a day later after purchasing the product. He then told me once UPS picks up the package I will recieve a tracking number via wheel connection by email. I said okay and thank you for your help and have a nice day he said you also do the same and goodbye... Nice guy really. Did everything like he should have and with haste. SO now is the waiting game... Lets see if these guys get with the program and get my order out soon. Just have to wait patiently for an email from them. I hope I do not get jerked around like so many others did. I didn't see a complaint about them since April of 2010. I cannot find one after that date... Maybe they changed there tune and straightend out? Who knows. I will be updating this as I find out details from my order. Stay tuned.

customer service
I ordered a set of Dale Jr Cannon rims on 7./27/09 never received any tracking number. On 8/7/09 I decided to try and call the wheel connection to receive my tracking number or the status of my purchase as they charged my credit card. I was put on hold for hours only to be disconnected many times. When I was finally able to get through I was asked my phone number and that I would be called back, well I never got called back. Not to mention I emailed numerous times without a response, and many more phone attempts. on 8/10/09 I contacted the better business beruau and filed a complaint. I also contacted my credit card company and cancelled payment, I will not pay them a dime. They try to charge a 25% restocking fee, this place is nothing but a rip off stay away. I partially blame myself for not researching the wheel connection more before I made my purchase. This place out right sucks. Wrecked 4 days out of my life so far. I have printed out over 50 pages of complaints on this place and the F rating the better business beraeu has given them. I will from know on only buy local I suggest if you are looking for new rims or any other automotive item to buy from your local garage or body shop that you use regularly. I ended up ordering the same rims from my local garage let me tell you It cost me a little more but the service from your local garage is 1000 times better. Oh one last thing I looked this place up on google map what a dump it looks like it is abandoned, I would not send my worst enemy here to buy anything this place is a living nightmare, STAY AWAY!!!

Fraud
I've just submitted a complaint against The Wheel Company in error. I sincerely apologize for the mistake. It should have read "The Wheel Connection". I had wanted to attach a street view photo of this so called operation but for whatever reason, it's not working. If anyone has any doubts about the legitimacy of The Wheel Connection, please go to Google Maps and type in 1816 S Franklin Springfield MO. Once there, click on street view, you'll see what I mean!

Poor service
I ordered a wheel in November of 2008. I recieved the invoice by email the next day. The information about the wheel was incorrect on the invoice. I called and had it fixed so they would ship the correct wheel. It's now May 22 2009 andI have no wheel and no refund.
They have admitted that the wheel was never shipped as there was no stock available. It has been an extremley large hassle trying to get my money back from this outfit. 578.00 charged for a wheel that they had no stock on and never shipped. The only thing that was quick and correct in dealing with this company is the lightning speed at which they chared my credit card. I have probably spent 4 hours on the telephone with these people. I've almost got my money back listining to pathetic excuses and laughing at the complete incompetence displayed by their staff.

Fraudulant
I ordered a rim from this company on June 16, 2008. I was emailed an invoice the following day. A couple of days later I noticed my credit card had been charged for the rim, but I hadn't received a tracking number. I called the following day to confirm it had been shipped. I was told they were trying to acquire me a rim from another warehouse. I was patient with them because one of my rims was cracked and I knew the rim was scarce. I had purchased the set a couple of years before and wheel companies usually discontinue wheels fairly frequently. Over the next two months I called multiple times a week trying to get some information on when I would get my rim. I called on September 3, 2008 and asked to cancel the order and for them to refund my credit card. I was told their accounting department would fax a refund authorization form to me by the end of the day. Over the next couple of weeks I called and was told the same lie. Since then, I found out that they do not even have an accounting department and there are only about four employees that actually work there. I have been dealing directly with the owner (Michael Brockman) for the last month or so, still trying to get my money back. He has not been anymore of a help than his employees. He has actually been very rude and even threatened me if I did not stop calling him. I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy. There have been over 100 complaints submitted to the Better Business Bureau over the last three years and there are many complaints on this and other websites. If you do not want to get ripped off, do not do business with this fraudulant company.

ordered - no wheel - no refund
My 17 year old son purchased a wheel, they told him they needed to find it in one of the many warehouses they own. Now they do not have it in stock and are failing to send a refund of $532.50 that we have been promised for 5 weeks now. I have called everyday last week and this week of Oct 27th 2008. To hear from Chance (salesman) I needed to fill out a form that will come from the accounting office that is somewhere else. Today James tells me that Chance was suppose to fil it out for me and that when Chance comes in he will have him call me..well everyday they tell me they will call me and no one does.
BUYER BEWARE-----DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM
I have now been doing internet searches on them and there are MANY COMPLAINTs against the wheel connection.
call the Attorney Generals office for the number of complaints against them.

Bad Business!!!!!
I ordered Damani Tech 5's in February 2008 from Wheel Connection. Mike advised me I would have them in just a few weeks. Well in a few weeks later I got 1 rim... thats right 1... and it was a TIG rim.. not a Damani. I looked them up and it was the same style but a cheaper rim. So they charged me for the Damani's and sent me a cheaper version. Thats just the beginning. Its been over 3 months now and I am STILL waiting for my 2nd rim. I have called them a hundred times and Mike (the supposed manager) will NOT get on the phone with me OR call me back. The guys that answer the phone side with you and tell you that they feel ya but they cant do anything for you. Had I known it was going to take months and months and that I was going to be charged for Rims that I didnt receive I would have bought all 4 rims with tires off of EBAY for just as much as I paid for 2 of their rims and tires. What a joke this coporation is. Does anyone know how to reach the owner or someone who can actually do something. Mike is too much of a ***** to man up and talk to anyone.. that is if he is even a manager!!! WHEEL CONNECTION SUCKS!!!

Wrong product-Terrible service
It's not necessary to lay out my own nightmare dealing with The Wheeel Connection and the owner Michael Brochman. On the other hand, I'm out more than a grand and I'm sure there are countless others screwed up and down by them. So, the question is: What do we do with this guy? My answer is to make his life so unbearable that he is driven out of business (and if were really lucky straight to jail!) As I see it, Google has him at the top of the search engine. What can be done about that? He is taking our money through credit card transactions. I have filled a complaint directly with Master Card. THere are States Attorney complaint procedures in his state of Missouri. There is small claims court procedures to consider. And, there is the IRS. My guess is that this guy is as dirty as they come, and a good IRS investigation would yield some bad stuff! So, who's in? Who will work with me to get at this piece of scum? And, what other ideas or actions have you taken on your own. My guess is that together, we will have much greater effect on this rotten apple of a company.

No product / charged restocking fee!
I had placed an order with the WheelConnection.com over the phone using my American Express card. I ordered qty-4 Damani Champ wheels Hyper Silver 18". They told me they were in stock and took my credit card info. After waiting a week and receiving no email confirmation I called up and was told that the product was not in stock and was discontinued. I then asked when I would receive a refund given that the funds had already been taken from my credit card. They said that the the funds would be returned in up to 14 days. Ok no problem, things happen. In a few weeks I received a refund but not the amount that was taken. It seems that WheelConnection.com charged me a return charge fee (restocking fee). I could understand this if I had received something, but I never got a product or even a confirmation email. After calling them numerous times and them telling me they would take care of the mistake or they would call me back I finally called American Express and let them know the problem. They in turn sent them an letter asking for a response. Guess what American Express received? Nothing! I think it's been about 3 months now and after talking with American Express they said no to worry about it and that it would not show up on my statement. American Express said they would take care of this on there end one way or another. I'm glad I have American Express on my side!

Ps. I sent this to The Wheel Connection.
