looking good, when are you gunna rebuild?

[SwagenGti]

Got them on friday. The finish is meh, its nice from a far but upclose, there are tons of visible scratches.

Anyone know what valve stem size they are? I think its a bit smaller than 7/16 (the valve stems I have right now, that fit on my other lips)

[SwagenGti]

Yeah, I ended up calling and it was like I thought; order, and you get refunded the extra charges. Just checked my order, all good and shipped today thank god!

[Nicolaus Pro]

if anyone can get back to me. I am trying to order the lips tonight, and it says that the lips are $20 for shipping (per lip). I was told in my email that it adjusts after confirmation. I went all the way through the order process, all the way to paypal and backed out. The shipping is $50 (table rate/best way) plus $40 (for extra ground cost). Am I supposed to pay that and then they refund me or what?

Just bought some lips from them today, and I only got charged the 40 bucks for shipping. I checked my bank account haha

VR used wheels are shit, and their customer service is even shittier. Lips might be a different story, though.

Are these lips clearcoated? Or are they straight up polished raw metal? Hopefully the latter

No clearcoat

Theyve been slacking getting the 16x3.5 lips in. It's only thing back from having my car done. FUCK

[SwagenGti]

ahh yes, definitely looks like it could use some more. Thanks for the pic!

[manne]

Did they not come polished?

Yes they did, but they didn't have that perfect shine

This is one straight out of the box.
There's nothing wrong at all with the finish as they are, but there is more shine to get

They answered my emails pretty quick in regards to whether they had things in stock or not :/
