Question Has anyone dealt with rbwheels.com before?

I'm in search of some VIP style rims for my 95 LS and rbwheels.com seems quite interesting. Has anyone dealt with them before? Can they be trusted? I heard that when they rebuild their 2 or 3 piece rims, they use poor quality sealant when they put the rims back together and it causes the rims to leak air. Is this true?

It has been a mixed bag of reviews concerning them. Some people have not had any problems with their wheels at all, some have had absolutely HORRIBLE experiences with them. Truthfully, for what they are asking for some of their wheels, with a little more money on top of that, you can save yourself the trouble and get them new with no headaches. Check with some of our vendors here on the forums to see if you can find something which fits into your budget. Some of them may even ship up to Canada.

yeah, it's hard to buy used wheels only by pictures. Save some money and get new wheels with offsets you need. Check www.vipstylecars.com as well!
