Hey guys wanted to share my experience with VR Wheels. I have since sold my 240sx, but I know many of you guys are constantly buying JDM wheels. So im hoping this write up can help if you out, if you're on the fence about using this company....

The prices overall were reasonable and they offer quite a selection of rare wheels imported from Japan. From what I have seen they are constantly getting in new shipments of wheels in and sell them through an easy to use online web store. Inventory is automatically updated and wheels purchased immediately go offline to prevent error. I've seen many mixed reviews on this company and I decided to just bite the bullet and see what happens. Large photo's of the "actual" wheels you will be receiving are shown so you can check for condition yourself via pics before checking out. So I then found the set of wheels I wanted and went for it.
Communication: I have only dealt with Jack the owner directly, he was very respectful and prompt and told me what I needed to do in order to get my wheels shipped out. I followed up with him the same day and he wound up prepping and shipping out the wheels also on the same day. (Ordered July 4th, shipped July, 8th awesome considering holiday closing schedule)
Shipping & Packaging: I took some photo's of what I received...

Box 2-

Inside:
There was two wheels to a box separated by cardboard with saran wrapped lips to prevent damage. There was also about 5 shipping straps securing the two wheels together to prevent them from moving around during transit...

After unloading, I inspected the lips and faces and I was very satisfied as the wheels I received were just as described with no damage during shipping and overall pretty sweet condition.

I am no way affiliated with VR Wheels, just wanted to write up and share my experiences with people out there that are on the fence about this company just like I was. When I was searching there was very mixed reviews out there and I'm hoping this can help others. I can honestly say that I am extremely satisfied with my transaction and wheels and would definitely business with this company again should I need anymore wheels.
