Anyone know where to get vossens in canada? My dealer has VVS-CV1 but at $4400 that';s at least $1000 more than in the US.

Any ideas?
Also what do you think I could get for my stock G37S wheels (with 50% tread left)?

Thanks

 

Buy them from a vendor and have them shipped to Freeport forwarding in champlain NY. Its a 45 min drive from Montreal. Drive there, pick them up, declare them on the way back, you pay 5% tax for items made in the states.

It's really worth it and you save a ton of $. Specially if the vendor offers free shipping within the USA. I've used Freeport a few times and had no issues at all. Wish I would have found out about it earlier.

I buy all my tires from the states and have them shipped there.

 

Great find. I didn't know about this. Thanks

No problem let me know if you have any questions.

 

We ship to Canada no problem. Give me your address and I will shoot you a qoute, or we can just ship them to freeport forwarding, your choice.

 

I'm also facing this dilemma.. Vendors here in BC want 2400-2600 for the wheels and 1050ish for the tires incl mount, balance and taxes.

But if you buy from the states you can probably get the wheels for 1800-2000shipped however after the con version fees, duty, HST and gas it adds up..

Let's say the wheels are 2000USD.

Conversion Fee: 2.5%
Paypal Transaction Fee: 3.9%
Paypal Fixed fee: $0.30 USD
Exchange Rate: 1 CAD = 0.99010 USD

= $2158.44CAD
Duty: 6%
Tax: 12%

= $2562.50CAD
+GAS = $50CAD

Total: $2612.50 CAD

Now most shops won't mount and balance from you if you don't buy the wheels from them and they charge about $180 for mounting 20"s...

2612.50 + $180
20 Tires = $1050

= $3842.5

So without all the hassle and time wasted + warranty issues you could have the shop do it for $3450 and save more money... lol The only way to win is if you get a used set from the states and figure out how to not declare to avoid duty + taxes when crossing the border
