Is it worth it to buy volks here, or are the prices in the US better?

 

I bought here and got raped to the tune of $5635. Check with JRP quickly, then take your shopping to a US based site.

 

Or check the US sites then ask JRP to match

 

the $5635 at the time was through a shop in Ottawa called Derand Motorsports. They ordered through JRP.


Derand motorsports = teh poohp.

 

From what I understand JRP has Ontario wrapped up in territory (Maybe other provinces as well not sure) and supplies a lot of other smaller shops to support local area's etc... Your best to go to JRP and cut your best deal IMO unless you know someone in the industry or maybe willing to drive to the states to pick up and save freight?

Im sure there will always be deals out there where people are getting rid of extra inv or trying to meet sales targets or start a new customer base and stuff.

Shopping can be fun. Just not in malls.

 

Meh, just buy from the US of A, too much mark up on the wheels here.

 

ouch! then i got a deal on mine $5100 for my combo and includes a set of rays lugs That was 2 years ago though...so much cheaper if we were to buy now...sigh.

 

USA is deinatly going to be cheeper. (even after you pay the duty fees) also if you buy from the states you can ask them to send as a gift of mark down the value.

 

Status, Gruppe-S and others have really made it tempting to purchase online.

I have noticed that jrp seems to have matched US pricing, it wont hurt to call in for a quick price check.

You never mentioned what wheels you were looking at

 

Auto...Design. You call. Rick answers. You say this. He says that. Your dream wheels come to your door. It's just that easy...

 

I agree, I've only heard bad news from Derand.

 

They were the only place in Ottawa I found that could order VOlk Wheels. My wait was like 10 months. They promised 3. My list of complaints is endless. They couldn't even tint my car right. Tell everyone you know, they blow.

 

man, at least mine only took about 4 months...

 

Buddy of mine ordered a set of 18s in Z fitment and it didn't come anywhere CLOSE to 5 grand.

Local vendor too.

What the heck are you guys ordering in terms of size?

 

bor bor, this was years ago..when the exchange rate was still 1.15...and the size's we're talking about are 19" wheels. What are the specs on those volks? 18x9.5f and 18x10.5 rears? Tire sizes?

I would imagine that 18s are quite abit cheaper than 19s anyways.

 

Dunno what tires he's going to run, and that's the rim size indeed.

19 over 18 is a 6% increase judging from the japanese website at a 9" width

 

oh, you mean he got rims for under 5g's..yea, our rims are under too...we included tires in that 5k price tag...

 

gruppe s has very good prices as well as mynismo.com and all the affiliate sites with my350z.com i ordered some volks 3 days ago 19" te37 in mercury silver with the +12 all around offset cost me 2900 shipped to my door and they even gave me a cheaper WAY cheaper receipt so my duties are going to be minimal. called tires23 in Mississauga they could get the same wheels with a 3 month wait for like 3450 i wasnt sure if that was taxes in or not. so props to mynismo.com if you talk to andy he answerd my pms so fasst and shipped my wheels same day (cause they were in stock) so should recieve them by friday or early next week

 

It wasn't what we ordered... it was when we ordered. The prices are really starting to come down nowadays/

 

Thats what I wanted to hear. How much were the duties? I have a similar quoted price. I don't think any cdn retailer can touch the US prices as of yet.
