B. Gorman is a SNAKE!! The guy never returned my phone calls unless I started to light a fire under his *** and then fed me a bunch of BS to buy more time, and what could I do???, he had my money and my wheels. For those of you that don't remember me, search in the wheel classifieds for the "HRE 540 Step lip" disaster. Waited 10 months for my wheels and once I got them they didn't even fit my car correctly.
THIS!!! I agree 100%
B. Gorman confirmed my theory on this. Anyone who waves a Bible in your face constantly and ends every sentence with "God Bless" should be watched closely cause they'll f**k you the first chance they get. I wonder how his church would feel knowing that their Pastor was scamming people???

I don't think anyone is in disagreement that B. Gorman is cribbing people of their hard earned money. There is evil in the worlds and it's everywhere... but to do that to a soldier is UN-ACCEPTABLE!
What can we, as forum members, do about this?

I just met with Shawn (Renntech55) this Friday, the 10th. Cool guy, me and my boy drove 2 and a half hours from PA to NY to meet with him. We spoke for a couple days, and I was confused on what I really wanted. But he had a designer eye and helped me pick out my color scheme for the exterior pieces I brought to him. Very helpful and tells it like it is. Definitely not a greedy guy, told me his reputation was worth more than the money he was making off of me. Can't wait for the phone call telling me everythings finished! If he does great, which I'm sure he will (his E55 is sick), then he has a lot more of my business and my friends too. His carbon fiber hydro dipping pattern looks so good in person, his mirrors looked almost identical to the real carbon fiber front lip he had on. My car will look AMAZING because of him. I don't know what problems B. Gorman has created with people, but dealing with Shawn has been great thus far

I've been fortunate w the memers I've bought stuff have come through and not scammed me.
Don't pay for items that you can't afford to lose the $$$$$ My paypal I use cc and not cash so I can still dispute if pp doesn't refund me

nobody is talking about losing money i couldn't afford. B. Gorman didn't rob me for my last few cents, and if i dont get the money back, it wont adversly change my life. The thread is about poor service, or atleast that what it started as.

2. Thank you Mr. OCKlasse, I know you're looking out for him, but it truly isn't your concern.
Yes. Yes I am.

I'm embarrassed to a be a sponsor sometimes.
I guess I am different...I'd panhandle to pay someone back money I owed. Just a question of honor I guess; some people have it, some don't.

I feel bad for you man. I saw this and was like
Soooo...he rips you off on tires because he says he lowered the car and the original tires wouldn't fit...and then he goes on to say that he didn't lower it. So why wouldn't the tires fit? What a tool. Hope you get everything back.
B, I'm really sorry you feel the way you do. I appreciate your friendship and you as a customer. First, as I did in person at my house....I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused you.
I would like to note the following though:
3. As far as the tires go, We agreed on Hankook evo's at first 245/35 & 275/30 , but they won't work on your car, because once we lowered it, the tire size needed in the rear is 285/25....and hankook doesn't make that size...we also needed 245/30 up front! The 285/25's were back ordered. I usually don't get tires till the last minute for builds, because we deal with so many distributors, it's usually not a problem! The 275's I gave you are a generic brand, so they are just thinner and work...so I gave those to you for free (as I explained when you were here!
6. Your car isn't lowered yet either, so add that to the refund list too, it just looks lower because of the wheels.

not that i'm aware of...
he's had a set of my wheels for almost 2 years now... i still get periodic pictures/videos... but nothing has physically materialized yet.
cant get him on the phone, wont respond to text messages, rarely responds to facebook.
only time he seems to respond is when legal threats come at him.

Guys a POS... Everyone who is still waiting for wheels, dont expect to get them. Either file a suit, or go to his house..
I stuck up for this guy, and i got beat like everyone else.. Over 3 years for wheels that i paid for. Nothing, till i finally started riding him. He gave me a set of wheels he had in his garage for my M3 so i could make an event i had, but "promised" mine were still being worked on. They werent.. These wheels were ****, but in the end i sold them to recoupe some of my money, but still out $1k.
I made sure i saved all his texts, and recorded his phone calls.

so I finally got my wheels in September of 2013... wheels that had been with him since September 2011.
took me a 10 hour drive and showing up at his doorstep... told me tires would be mounted, wheels were done etc...
one wheel was missing about 10 bolts to fasten the face to the barrel, and none of the tires were mounted... but I said **** it... at least I got my ****.
his powdercoat guy is quite possibly the sloppiest person i've ever seen do work... how the hell do you get DRIPS in powdercoat on all 4 inner barrels?
one of the wheels was out of round, the other three were ok.
definitely not up to my quality standards, and not worth the wait...
