Joined this forum to make this specific post

Paolo has had my wheels since late July. they were supposed to be done by August 11th.
He has 2 of my Fabulous Profound 18x8.5+38 and they are in for a re-lip to 18x10.5
Told me it'd be less than a 10 day turn around and had all the parts in stock.
I also left him a $400 dollar deposit,

I was able to stay in contact with him up until mid-August then he stopped replying to me.
I've seen emails, phone calls, texts messages, and have left voice mails and nothing.
My 2 wheels are still with him and I've got no idea how to get a hold of him.
Any info would be appreciated.

To the guys whose stuff he has plz text me @ 714-603-6274.

Here's the story as to why they're being shady.
Apparently Paolo's machinist passed away about 2-3 months ago.
Virginia "supposedly" does not affiliate with Paolo anymore and has not been in contact with him either.
When Paolo's machinist passed away Paolo picked up the wheels that were at his shop and took them.
Paolo told Virginia to do her own thing and that he would take care of the wheels and handle it himself.
Virginia denied knowing Paolo's whereabouts when I asked her.
I have a list of Paolo's recent addresses as well as phone numbers.

I still have not been able to get in contact with Paolo.
Their phone number 714-725-4445 is still active and is ran by Paolo.

Please show this post to anyone you know is missing their wheels or missing their money.

Paolo's address is unknown.

Virginia:
7132 Fenway Dr. Westminster CA

With their creditability, who knows the truth or not about his machinist being dead or for that reasons.... JUST give them back what YOU (paulo) owe wheels or money and let's move on with everyone's lives !!!!

You can't hide forever !!!!!

Jumped into this topic because I can't get a hold of them either, they have about 2K worth of wheels of mine which they were suppose to recondition. Now their phone no longer works. Anyone hear anything? Maybe new location or anything?

Just to let you guys know, I was able to get back 6 of my wheels. Palo seems like an ok guy, but he has I guess his own demons to deal with, not giving excuses, but yea I wouldn't work with him again, but I did finally get my wheels back, lol. I believe Palo isn't going to work on wheels again.

I can vouch that the guy they go through for machining is dead. Died in a car accident.
