Can you not just buy a set of each? laugh.gif All very nice rims i must say but think i'd go for the R77 or R66 then maybe the R55? thats a hard choice to make love them all biggrin.gif

Not a fan of four spoke alloys myself, my choice would either be the R55 or R66, leaning slightly towards the 66 as I think more spokes suits the SC better..........

How much are you getting them for if you don't mind my asking? whistling.gif

Cheers chaps, seems like R55 was the fav. Which is good cos that was my first choice biggrin.gif

" How much are you getting them for if you don't mind my asking? "

Well from my research over the last month a good 20" forged 3 piece staggered set of rims in the UK (no tyres) is around the £4k mark and then in the US around about $4,500 for the same wheels.

I was quoted $3100 + shipping (£1600 ish) No doubt I'd get hit on duty though crying.gif

That was through WheelExecutives.com although I have also spoken to Sevas directly and they will ship to the UK as well. At the mo. WheelExecutives is doing a group buy on club lexus hence the discount. The actual price on those wheels is about $4700 and WheelExecutives are offering them to me at $3100 but the shipping is pretty heavy just got the price today + $1120. cry.gif

Ok, shipping $1120? Is that via express courier, like DHL, probably chepaer via air cargo? Then still need to pay tax/duty on top, hmm i think i'll look for similar wheels from a UK supplier, probably work out same price but with less hassle.

Do you know how much vat etc is paid on wheels if importing them?

Sorry forgot to ask, is the price without tyres?
aquanuke
The shipping quote was for express with full insurance, tbh I dont want them kicking around for 4 weeks plus on economy cry.gif

Price was without tyres. TBH theres not much if anything to be saved on tire prices from what I can see.

Im not sure what the duty is charged at. Today I got some led tail lights from US value was $799 got charged £120 duty shutup.gif

You could try and value it lower to get reduced duty but then if they get damaged in transit you can only claim what value you declared.
