Which Sevas Wheels

[aquanuke]

Im getting a superb deal on some 3 piece Sevas rims. Now the hard bit which one should I choose :D

Im thinking the R55 , R5 or maybe the Quattro Stem. What do you prefer?

[Rsarin]

id say the R55 wins.but i do like the R5 wheels too.

[lee_iceman]

Quite like those R66's :)

[treborlex]

all look good but i do prefer the R55

Hey there,

For me it would be the ChampionShip 5 alloys followed by the R55 alloys :)

Can you not just buy a set of each? 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 :D

[Parthiban]

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?

[aquanuke]

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

" 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

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.

never heard of these wheels before! they all look stunning and amazing quality. my fave is the r22 tho.

r55 for an SC i reckon :D

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

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 :shutit:

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.

Yep NP, I will do the math tonight. I just had to pay for my BBK today so Im a bit skint.

The hardest part will be getting the wheels on without the missies noticing
