Default Anyone heard of this place/guy

So I'm inquiring about getting my wheels re-done.
So far the best pricing I have gotten is from this guy.
He seems legit and I have spoken to him over txt, but anyone ever heard of this place. L&B forged wheels. Link below... His name is Brian

Any input would help, good or bad. Thanks guys

never heard of this company.

Just do the transaction over paypal, don't gift it.

Tell him ahead of time you will put a hold on the wheels via paypal until its received to cover your end.

Once he uploads tracking, wait for it. Once wheels are 100% then drop the case.

Covers your *** all the way.

Well he is local. He has provided me address to his shop and his home.
So if needed I know where and how to look for him. He works in placentia near the 57 fwy in Anaheim.

Sup JC21! Last time I saw you was at dudes place when you swapped headlights and I got the chargespeed sides + damd diffuser.

If he's local and you have access, it's a smaller risk. I have never heard of him. But online as info this shows up:

Im swapping out my rear lips to the front and adding 5 inch step lips to the rear.
then I am doing a full polsih all around.

I got quoted from a different place and with a cheaper price as well. A guy that owns a company named JDM Mafia, he is closer to me and Knows my cousin personally so I might end up going to him.
I can ask about your work equips if you'd like.

And swap out Headlights? I think that may be a different guy, cause when I swapped my headlights and Tailights it was just me and the guy and he didnt have a damd diffuser or chargespeed sides. hahahaha

You can try this place, when I had my 5th gen Camaro, I was thinking about getting my factory wheels widened, but never got around to it. You can at least call them and get a quote on the work you want done. The closest "in state" shop is in Buena Park.

Ive just heard stories about wheel flip. Im not sure what the full details are but my friend said they were somewhat flakey at one point. But im just saying on what i have heard, and not with personal experience. But i think i may be going with JDM mafia on this. wheels flip quoted me about 960 to do the lips and polish everything as well.
