So before the wheels got dropped of at Dipped Parts i was working out a deal to get the wheels refinished and done in black chrome me and the owner (Michael Cristi) worked out a deal of $750. Once the wheels were dropped off at Dipped Parts i received confirmation that they will start the work on my TEs. So after receiving confirmation that my wheels were in the hands of Michael Cristi i went ahead and sent a deposit of $500 for him to start the work and the $250 balance was due once the wheels were completed.

I sent the deposit through paypal on April 15th 2011 and Michael Cristi said that the turn around time should take 2 weeks. Its almost 5 months now and my wheels are still in his pocession. A few weeks ago i received a text from him with pictures of a set of wheels that he said they were mine. I looked close at the pictures and they were a set of TEs but they were 5 lug. So immediately i contacted Michael Cristi and let him know that the pics he sent me werent my wheels and he said he would find out whats going on and get back to me. So he called me the next day and told me their was a mix up and said that they had 2 sets of TEs that were suppose to get refinished. My 5 lug set and a set in 4 lug so the 4 lug set mistakenly got done in black chrome.

The last time ive heard from him was about 2 weeks ago and he said he would get my wheels done ASAP and get them sent to me. I tried contacting him for the past 3 days through phone calls, text message, facebook. So far i got no response and today i tried phone and text again and it seems like his number is disconnected now.

I want my wheels done and shipped back to me or a refund of my deposit and my wheels back in the condition there currently in. I have proof that the money was sent in paypal. Im wondering if anyone on here can help me out with finding out a address for the location of their business. I want to contact the local authorities and get everything straighten out because im tired of waiting.

Here is the proof payment was sent to Michael Cristi of Dipped Parts www.dippedparts.com
