Anybody do aftermarket wheels yet?

[PapaSmurf]

I ordered my car with the base wheels with the plan on buying aftermarket.

Has anybody in here bought wheels yet and if so did you buy from Canada or the US?

I worry about unexpected brokerage and shipping fees when buying anything from the US. Been burned too many times.

Thanks

Not yet. But I have family stateside. Will simply drive down and swap them when we are allowed to cross again. I like my base rims. Not sure I will upgrade. Winter wait may cause reckless spending fits on those long winter days.

My stock rim was $9xx.00 to replace. The Carbon flash 5 spoke.

We know the parts are all overpriced but not European Price over priced. My new stingray wheel caps were 220.00

Got mine from MMR as well. Not issues. He will work with you on the duty and brokerage I actually flew mine from Cali to Newfoundland 2 day air for like $300. Wheels are priced more then fair. Landed for 4 wheels, lug nuts and freight was $2300 tax INC. UPS brokerage was $120 I believe. Contact Carlos direct via email. He was excellent to deal with. Super helpful. Quick to respond and just awesome to work with. [email protected] I’d highly recommended

Hopefully installing tomorrow. Just finished PPE and some carbon flash wrap work. Few pics of progress. In desperate need of black wheels now!!!

Not 100% how I feel about the wrap yet but if I don’t like it, I can simply peel it off ...

Will post some when wheels on car.

Wrapped the complete done and mirrors. Also removed the hashtags... General consensus was they had to go. The guy who did the wrap said he was mentally peeling them off as I pulled in his lot. Lol

Coincidentally @MRR_Wheels are now a CCF sponsor so you can always reach them here also.

I was 50/50. Had they been the right color red they may have survived

Did you stick with factory widths? What was the price all in with shipping and duties?
