Would you??

[Mattsclio!]

i have called up serveral alloy wheel dealers etc asking if they do the konig imagine in hi gloss black with chrome lip and they have said they do not import them into the UK,meaning i would have to buy them from the US, if i was to buy them i would be a little worried about them being copies etc? would you buy them if it was the only place to get them from?? just interested in peoples views? thanks!

Personally, no.

 

[thedoc]

They'd be like rocking horse sh>t if you did get them..
but if one got damaged somehow, how'd you go on gettting a replacement?
I'd probably pick something else or another colour

We have just got a suspension that was ordered for the evo from Japan... it was bought and paid for in September and it has just arrived now as it has been in customs .. lol

^^ just something to take into concideration when ordering from outside the UK

Hope it helps

^^ only because of the trade legislation changes from goods from japan/china.

should be fine with getting them imported from america, just pay through paypal to get your buyer protection.

don't forget you will still have to pay vat when it reaches the uk though

 

[Middo]

not if you claim its a gift

yeah mate,they said they dont import these wheels to the UK in gloss black

 

[cat171]

I would do it, providing the wheel company in the US is a reputable seller.
Also it depends on how easy they are to come by in the usa too, if they are easy to get over there then you will be able to get a decent price, if they are rare then they'll cost more.

The main cost would be the shipping to the uk, it'll be a lot.

 

[Mattsclio!]

they can only ship the actual wheels but not tyres because they are too heavy for UPS or somethin?? AH What to do!!??

 

[cat171]

get the wheels shipped over & get tyres in the uk ?

 

[Mattsclio!]

yeah if i decide to get them,just bit worried because i would like to see the wheel in the flesh before i buy but that aint gonna happen,so may have to risk it!

Get normal ones from UK and get em power coated.

 

[Mattsclio!]

throw loads of names of black wheels that are out at the mo for me!?

 

[Dubai182]

Surely getting the normal Konig's and then get them refurbed in gloss black is the way forward? No way you could tell the difference right?

 

[Ian_182]

They would be worth it though.Gorgeous wheels...

[Mattsclio!]

i konw but that is too much hassle,plus it will prob come to alot more

 

[Middo]

^ probably would cost more due to polishing the lip, and the inner lip.

 

[Mattsclio!]

i may just go for some team dynamics megastar or BSA cyclone.
