How to contact ARD_T2?

I did a search, and he hasnt posted on this forum in a while. I tried PM, but it says that he has opted not to recieve PMs through the forum. I went to his website, and couldnt find any email address... Is he still around, and able to get people good deals on wheels? I've finally found a set I want to buy, and wanted to Email him to see if he could get me a better deal. Is he still around?

He hasnt returned any of my PM's sent thru another forum. This guy gets good prices, but his customer service leaves much to be desired.

I agree...and I am sorry to be an ***, but I moved on and am dealing with someone else. I value my time, and I don't need to wait around forever all the time to save a couple bucks.

He's on the "other forum" as SageFC.

You can reach him at Automotive R&D: 408-947-0505.

For those that say his customer service is lacking, you have to understand things from his point of view. He was on this forum for a long time providing lots of free advice to people who didn't end up buying wheels from him.

Rishie is a knowledgable enthusiast who has good deals for rx7 owners and actually cares about people getting a good fitting, quality set-up. There aren't too many guys like that out there....

No argument there. However, there is a difference between logging on to give free advice, and logging on to check your PMs to see if an existing or prospective customer is trying to contact you via means that "you" (you = Rishie) have defined through "your" conduct as acceptable.

There is no doubt he has been a great help to members on this forum. Time after time, you would read about members happy to deal with him.

Back in July I contacted Rishie. He got right back to me with answers to my questions with a fair price. Emailed him again later in that month for shipping prices and never heard back. So, I called him. Pointed out I am in Denmark and was very excited to make an order with him but still wanted shipping price to Denmark. If it was a problem I could have them shipped to a family member in California and they could ship them to me. Never heard back. emailed a couple of times and gave up.

Sometime after he posted on this forum. Basically saying.... that people just don't want to pay for top quality wheels. Well I was willing too! Soon after, he left the forum and set shop on the other RX7 forum.

That's my story. I wish him luck

I was trying to buy a set of volk se37ks from him and he never responded with a price, so forget him. Those sure as hell aren't poor quality wheels!! Theres plenty of other people that want my money.

Great reputation for fitment advice and prices, but he is definately hard to catch.

The fact that he has helped out so much is what sticks in my mind. Although i wont be buying wheels for over a year, when i do he will be the first one i contact because i appreciate knowlegeable people that help out. Too bad more poeple arent like him, although i can understand why since there are so many cheapskates that just try to milk eveyone for anything they can get....
