VR Wheels - Has anyone bought from them before?

[Sleeper Cell]

I'd be scared to see what it looked like in there after the couple earthquakes we had last week. :O

How the hell do they find anything in there? Looks pretty unorganized, lol.

VR'S dope warehouse. Got wheels for day's!!

That looks real professional......I would hope the rims would be a lot more organized/well taken care of than that.

How do the rims not get damaged, when they are stored like that?

A lot of the wheels have saran wrap around the rims, so you can stack them without really affecting the appearance.

Ah ok, at least they do that.

As you mentioned, after an earthquake......it would be a sight to see.

We had two earthquakes last week lol. Both were kind of small but they managed to knock things around our warehouse, which is also full of wheels haha.

I can only imagine in a situation like that where they're all stacked up on top of each other with no boxes. Domino effect if they hit each other on the way down.

^I would hope they would check each wheel for damage, and fix any before selling them to people.

I still don't see how they find anything, there are no rows, labels, etc that I can see.

Unless something substantial has changed, they don't.

My post from a previous thread offering my experience:

FWIW, I should chime in, just so you know what they are capable of.

I had a similar experience as Gilbert. Basically, when I was inquiring about the wheels before I bought them, they responded to my e-mails quickly and professionally. My main concern was that they don't really advertise the condition of the wheels in their site listings, and I wanted to make sure I wasn't buying a project. After being told the wheels were in "immaculate" condition with almost "brand new" lips, I went for it and picked up my Leon Hardiritts.

They arrived two wheels per box, strapped together with cardboard between them, and no lip protection. I freaked out to see them packaged that way, and when I pulled them out of the box, they lips were cosmetically mutilated from the shipping process. That wasn't all though, the aluminum faces were galled under the clear powdercoat, which ruined the machine finish. The hardware was rusted, and two of the wheels had severe bends that had been half-*** repaired. I tried to contact them via e-mail and telephone for over two months and never got a response. I ended up taking it up with my credit card company and was partially reimbursed.

I put over 100 hours into restoring the wheels back to new condition, which included repairing the bends, blasting the faces and having them powdercoated, polishing the hoops, and having the hardware stripped and black-chromed.

I've seen some dope wheels come out of their warehouse, but I would never buy anything from them again without physically walking into the business and taking a look at the product.

it sucks but this is what happens more than often with some companies. if you don't live in like in socal, 5 min. walk from their warehouse, you're just taking a gamble. I know the price difference is huge here and doesn't compare at all to wheels like you mentioned, but it's the same with DDM. they don't answer phone calls or emails worth a ****. but i know people who walk in their stores in cali and exchange broken ballasts and bulbs with no problem at all.

**** alabama.
