I've been talking to the guys at Alufelgen to find out what it would cost to get a set to the UK. Not cheap given todays exchange rate. But agreed, nice wheels.

How much did it work out for you?

I think its going to cost roughly the same as picking up a new set of wheels in the UK. But I'm loving the concaveness of these wheels.

Really nice wheels.

$1300 a set = £820 approx
Shipping £200 a set of wheels
£1,020
Import duty at 4.5%
£1,065.90
VAT at 17.5%
£1,252.43 LANDED Cost

I don't think £1200 is too bad for a set of decent 19" wheels. I used to import JDM wheels as a company until a few years back. For 19" 3 piece wheels these days the exchange rate is so bad the cost is around £3k a set upwards.

David, I had it priced a bit higher than that but yeah compared to BBS etc its a pretty decent deal, Also the feedback on the quality of the wheels has been superb.

Now silver or hyperblack :D

I used to import wheels from Japan, those costs should be about right. The shipping cost from US is actually less than Japan.

I used Fed Ex to ship, and get the wheel manufacturer with a local account to price up shipping (it's usually cheaper this way).

Go direct to the manufacturer, always soo much easier.

PMSL...if I had the money right now I would consider it. But if the weather carries on like this I think a set of winter tyres will be my next mod...lol.

Of course all donations are welcome.
