hi all

i have been looking for volvo genuine alloy wheels and i have found websites in america where the MADEA 18 inch alloy wheels are $189-$50h i need two of them but the shops that sells them for this price doesnt ship to the uk the only shop that i have found that does wants like $580 dollars these wheels are £481 in the uk which is a rip off if you ask me when they clearly dont cost that much

has anybody got any ideas of shops that ship to the uk that are cheaper than uk crook dealers

cheers all

I can sure see why you want to get your wheels in the US. Even the incredibly high US price of $580 per wheel (roughly £290) plus shipping to the UK looks fantastic compared to £481 locally in Wales. The cheapest $189 wheels (£95) are dirt cheap from your perspective, aren't they?

I can only suggest you expand your search. You may also try looking at Canadian sources for the wheels, prices should be similar to the US (but in Canadian dollars of course!) and they may be more willing to ship to the UK.

the only difference with canada is that the exchange rate isn't as good as europe/us. i think that there are secondary shippers who will ship them for you. have you asked these rims dealers if they can recommend someone to ship them to you.
