I want a pair of bronze volk 37te 19 inch where can you grab them for a reasonable price all i found was like 9 bills per rim without tire plzzzz help really want these rims

 

^LoL
You gota pay to play... volks will run you that price, almost anywhere..
You can try Speedstar
or
You can try ordering from the US vendors on this site.. but how much you save will vary.

I personally like ordering from a local source.. I like to avoid the "blame" game if something goes wrong with shipping.

 

ye thats true thanks bud

 

usaddressinc.com

Setup an account with them. Order your rims from the states and have them shipped to usaddressinc in Niagara Falls, NY. Pick them up on your own, declare them on the way back to Canada. You'll save money and now you'll have some for the tires.

Still, you will pay lots for Volk rims alone. Like stated above, you gotta pay to play.

 

^ is there any fees when opening a account with them????

 

No startup fees. Each time you get something delivered and pick it up you pay them $5.00 USD per item/box. If the item/box is heavy or oversized then they have different rates.

I have gotten a rear lip and sideskirts delivered there and the boxes were pretty big but not heavy. They charged me $5 per box. My rims came up to $20 (4 boxes).

 

ohhh thanks for the info...how far is it from the canadian border?? and how long can you leave the stuff there for??

 

I believe you have one week from when they recieve your shipment to pick it up before they start charging storage fees. It is very close from the border. Literally, when you are done talking to the US border officers, the whole border "driveway" turns into a highway, and it is the very first exit to Witmer Rd, about 2-3km from the border. You hang a left and it is the first or second building to the right, right next to a police station. I spend no more than 45mins in the US and that is because I have a little 4 door Hyundai that I pick up my stuff in, so I have to open, break, and fold all the boxes if necessary.

On the way back, you get to declare your stuff with some pretty good looking Canadian customs ladies!

 

icicicic so you usually take the items out of the box before crossing again???? and how much do they usually charge you when you go back to canada?

 

Hey VQ, I don't have a big truck so I can't fit big boxes in my car if not I would just throw them in. You pay regular duties on the declared value of the items. Mind you, the duties are calculated for canadian dollar values. So it depends what the exchange rate is at the time. I can't remember exactly but I think you pay a 13% total of the declared value.
It really depends what you are buying from the states and if you can get a much better deal from there than here. I have found that it worth it for big ticket items (ie rims). After all is said and done, I have saved money in extra shipping to Canada, brokerage fees that go with that, and with the exchange rate being close to 1:1. Shop around and see if your savings are really worth it for driving down there and picking stuff up on your own.

 

Things to take into consideration...

-Time driving back and forth
-Time away from the work/office
-Cost for Gas, Food, accommodations (if necessary)
-Traffic congestion at the borders
-Dealing with customs (PITA)
-Damage to goods purchased. (how will you claim damage's when the item has already been delivered..?)

Now ask yourself, do the savings outweigh the headaches? If they do, go nuts

 

thanx bud

 

yup sounds like too much work.

And customs are a b*tch if you go through a US vendor. I thought i was saving a lot when I bought my wheels, except I got pilled $640 by fedex when I received 'em.

 

where is there a good store here in the gta then

 

I bought a set of GT-C off of Ebay.. One rear rim was dented in shipping... It's not that bad though. Sometimes I dont even notice it when I wash the car. I got $150 from the seller for the ding, which I was surprised and thankful to get. All in all I got a $4000 set of Volks for like $2250 w/center caps. +22 and +24 offset
