Has anyone got any feedback on their products?
I notice minisport sell some of the JBW branded stuff too.

There are way too many bad reviews for me to even think about touching them. Some of them are so poorly designed that it is almost impossible to fit tyres to them without damaging the tyre.

[Mr.greenPullover]

I got 7 sets [Ouch!] of wheels with fitted tires from them, no real problems so far.

Always because of change of design choice not because of an issue.

The lacquer seems to be more durable as on the ultralites, which all 12 of them has those fine hair cracks underneath the clear coat. 

They Revolite are much more easier to put tires onto as to the original Revolutions 4 spoke 6x10 - on which my mechanic and 3 tire shops who know Minis and 10 inch tires failed...

 

The only 2 "issues" I had are

- my mechanic rebalance every wheel, because a) the standard position of the weights interfere with the 4 pod calipers (that are not cleared by the ultralites) and b) he rebalance every wheel a customer brings into his shop anyway...

- when I ordered some extra nuts and they don't look like on the website and how I wanted, it was easier and much cheaper to buy the correct looking ones from minispares and sold the JBW to my mechanic as return to the brexit border is so much hassle, its best been avoided at almost any cost...

 

Shipping to germany is fast and reasonable priced, even if it feels not (ever tried to buy something from france, then you know expensive shipping)

 

Response to questions / mails is fast and helpful. Last question was answered within 12 minutes.

 

If my money regrow fast enough a 8th set will be here about Easter...

I have a set of 4.75x10 Rosepetals with tyres and also my wife has a set of 5x10 minilite style with gold edging and tyres. Both sets are very good.

JBW were also easy to deal with when I had questions. Delivery was quick on both sets.

Will buy again from them.

I brought some wheels from there recently for my Caddy as ideal as being local to me, really good to deal with on messages and proper good service also

I've just bought a set of JBW 10x6 GB minilight wheels with Yokohama A008 tyres through Mini Sport (as it was about £40 cheaper than direct from JBW). They arrived quickly and look nice out of the box. I've not fit them yet so I don't know how well they're balanced or if they will last well. First signs are good, though.
