Big ups to Dean M, the man behind https://www.deanosvw.com
Finally, someone making covers for the smoothie look, for 4-lug wheels! And in the U.S.A.!
Ordered a set and got them within a few days. I knew it was a quality product when I opened the box: Well wrapped and padded, enough to defeat the gorillas at the post office.
When I had concerns, Dean was right on top of it. Excellent customer service is an understatement.
I'd buy again, without hesitation. You should too. _________________ Everything known to man has been written.

Super-satisfied with not only the parts, but also communication, after-the-sale followup & technical advice, and more, from Deano. Would definitely do business with him again, and recommend him highly!
As-received "Deano's Smoothie Rings":
As-powdercoated rings, along with some used 4.5" ET46 wheels that I also had powdercoated at the same time:
Everything onto the car, as of this past weekend--very pleased!

Does anybody know if Deano’s is still a viable business or does he just take orders and not fill them now?
I ordered his adjustable stand-offs from him on 7/25, credit card charged right away. I don’t get any other correspondance from him other than the original order confirmation on 7/25. I reached out to him on FB messenger (since that and email are the only ways to communicate with him) on 8/8 (14 days later) and he responded back that he was running behind and my order would go out soon.
Another 42 days go by and I don’t hear anything, so I messaged him again on FB on 9/19, and I can see that he read the message and just ignored me and never answered. So it is now another 45 days after that, 101 days total since I ordered, and I still haven’t heard anything. _________________ 1968 Bug |
