Best sources for rare wheels/parts?

Anybody know how outrageuos shipping would be from accross the pond (the Atlantic Ocean lol) for a set of wheels?

[fiziks]

I've heard it's roughly a couple hundred dollars.

[RedE46Bimmer]

Yeah i emailed claus at felgen garage on a set of 17" RSs and they said 220euro so that's $307.36. just incase anyone cares lol

[fiziks]

Yeah that sounds about right. But unless your looking at some super rare parts, the wheels are usually a little cheaper across the pond so the price equals out.

[RedE46Bimmer]

well the RS's i emailed him about were 17s and they wanted almost $3,500 dollars lulz.

Do not purchase from RBwheels.

[fiziks]

Do not purchase from RBwheels.

Explain?

[mpv]

I didnt see it on here and it is a little complicated to figure out but
up-garage.com always has killer prices on stuff and the conversion from yen to $ is not bad. I have contacts in Japan to get stuff shipped over and can really be worth it on wheels you would want to buy from rb or memoryfab

As far as parts go i get all my parts from titanium touch. I actually setup a wholesale account with them. I think last i checked I can get 2-3" 17" bbs rs lips for around 200 per lip shipped from Germany.

felgen garage is an insane rip off I would never buy anyhting from them ever.

just matz is good for the bbs rs caps, the ebay company( not hoffman) is really good to deal with Ive had caps from germany show up in less than a week

memory fab is good but if you are dealing with them let me know and if we can get a group buy together a lot of times if I pick up 3 or more sets you can get a nice discount ( they are 45 min drive for me)

[Madface]

i've bought 4 sets of wheels from RB and never had any issues

Who is titanium touch? where are they located? i did a google search and couldnt find this company.

[mpv]

the website is titanium-touch.com the actual business name is pertsch and partner. They are in germany not sure which city bu ive been dealing them for over 3 years now and are great to work with have bought lips/ barrels/ bolts pretty much everyyhting from them

[fiziks]

I already had titanium touch up there, added up-garage tho.

[1badg35]

thanks for the info. i am going to try to set up a wholesale account now. need some parts soon

[Mattphi]

Explain?

I had a major issue with a set that I purchased from them. Their customer service (Jack) was almost non-existent. I would send an email and never receive responses and then call them and they would basically tell me "oh yeah, I forgot to write you back".

I bought a set from them before they moved to their new location, I received the wheels and one wheel had 3 large bends in the polished lip...and a large crack in the barrel. (Also all 4 had a large repair weld in the barrel to begin with). When after telling this to them they basically told me that I would need to send the wheel back to them, on my dime, they would fix it and then ship it back.

After explaining that it was not my fault and as a seller they are responsible for any non-disclosed damage...I agreed to pay for the shipping to them, only because I was tired of arguing. So I took the hit for shipping a wheel from Florida to Cali, and sent the wheel off for repair. After 3 months of going back and forth, and long periods of time between me shipping and him forgetting to ship my "fixed" wheel back to me...I received it and it was worse than before.

I was told that he physically used a hammer to fix the dents on the lip and that "wheels are stronger when they are fixed, than when they are first made". Which makes absolutely no sense. So after months of arguing and being let down...I finally opted for a full refund. He then told me that I was responsible to pay for return shipping or I couldnt get my money back. Great customer service right? RBWheels fucks up and it's up to the buyer to pay for everything. So there goes $100 for shipping all 4 wheels back to Cali.

I agree that they do have a nice selection of wheels, and if I ever find something that I like from them again I might actually purchasing something else. But this is not the first case that I've heard where they ship shit out and do not disclose damage...or where they switch around offsets and send out the wrong ones. The customer service is horrible and Jack (the owner) is absolutely clueless, but hey...if you can afford used LM's or something expensive, they are the place to go.

[SofaKingCG2]

tunershop.com (for wheel parts. outter lips, bolts, stuff of that nature)

On a side note, I purchased my wheels from RB Wheels. And though they were not as fucked up as mattphi's they do have curb rash that's almost hard to believe. But then again I had a kid ask me if I was affraid of hitting a curb with wheels that poked. I asked him if he was really that bad at driving and had a good laugh about it.

I remember you from when I had my 240's :)

Too bad I can't find shit on upgarage since they updated the layout a while ago. Do you have access to a lot of dope 5x120 wheels there or are they all 5/4x114.3?

[FreshLikeSushi]

i can order almost any wheel in 120, not an odd size. Used selection is not huge, but there are some

im not sure if this is where i should post this but..

my current wheels are 16x7 16x8 enkei racing s both are +32. they are 2 piece wheels in which the face detaches from the lip/barrel, which has 40 bolts.

i'm looking for a 9 inch ride barrel which will work with the faces i have that are 40 hole, do any of you know if something like this exists? i have the correct face so all i need is 2 16x9 40 hole barrels.

Very very very nice people there. Bought 4lips and screws, one lip was fitting all that good, so i asked them about it, they told me to send the lip back, and i got a new one replaced no questions asked.

I like them a lot, would defiantly recommend them.

I strongly advise against purchasing from RB/VR wheels - Jack is a nice guy, but they just sell complete garbage half the time.. I've had numerous people come to me with warped wheels in attempts to either fix them or source another wheel/pair since they can't ride on them anymore.

I JUST had a customer bring me a wheel that couldn't balance for all HELL and they told him that all sales were final.. :o
