I've found a set of 5 used rims I'd like to get for the Jeep.
The problem is that UPS want $850 to ship them (5 packages totalling 75kg at 55x55x30cm each).  There must be a cheaper way.  I'm prepared to pay around $400.
I've already got a big bumper on the way which weighs 70lb and that is only costing $250 to ship, granted I have to fetch it from Heathrow but I'm ok with that.  I fail to see why 5 wheels weighing less than double that should cost almost 3.5 times as much...

Suggestions?


Motorama

contact Russ at R&R Hot Rod Imports, he has containers coming in monthly, or maybe Ron at STS Imports who also offers a container share service

Andy

Andy got there with my suggestion...

Ron Fenton, STS Imports, seems to get really good 'reviews'.

I'd suggest Ron too, a lot of guys on the Mocgb site use him, not sure how long it takes though
