they may be cheap from the US.. but brokerage will rape you when you receive them.

^^^ How much would brokerage fee and all the extra taxes would cost for lets say a $900-$1100 order if they chose to ship it here? :dunno:

according to google 318km, 3hrs 35 mins
typed this into google maps- get directions "from: calgary, alberta canada to: Sweetgrass montana USA"

could be longer due to road construction, slowdowns through towns and stuff.

It is worth the drive if your time is free, and sometimes the tire places refuse to ship outside the US.

I just bought mine http://stores.ebay.ca/Discount-Tire-Direct-Auctions and your looking at close to $150 for GST and brokerage fee, and then shipping was roughly $200.

All in all I paid about a grand and they were shipped to my door within 2 weeks.

hmmm...so tack on about 350 for it to be shipped to your door here in Calgary....hmmm

looks like I might have to drive down to Montana then to save some cash. :D

I just got my springs from New York....13 bucks...was worth about 175 bucks.....I can't see how getting 1200-1500 ish rims will be 350 for customs and duties??

its all about what the company says the package is worth. sending stuff in the mail with a legit company should be done correct or i do believe its illegal. someone will im sure have a better understanding or this concept and can explain better. the less the value the less the brokerage

so edgeracing doesn't even ship to Canada apparently??....does anyone know any good cheap sites for rims and tires? preferably in Canada so I don't have to deal with the customs and brokerage issues
