Yeah they're made here, but expect wait times of around 6 weeks.

You need to pay the following:

Tax - as applicable
Duty - as applicable

If the wheels are manufactured in the US, duty is 0%. Tax will be 12% (in BC).

Thank you so much samps! Nonetheless, anybody know if there is a address for shipping that is near the boarder? like Buffalo or Niagara Falls??

You guys are too honest for me... I'd bring my car to the states and have them put on there. Then bring one stock back at a time and claim it is a spare. :P

Thanks a lot! Without this forum I'd be lost though. :P

Of course you can claim it as a spare lol. Just do one at a time. :P

LOL, believe me, I do what you do. I have a friend in Seattle and the last time I bought wheels for my old 335i, I just left the stockies at his place and brought back one wheel at a time as a spare (in a G35 sedan since the 335i has RFTs!).

Problem is, at times I don't head down often so he's stuck with storing wheels for me. I've done this on two cars (wheels and snow tires). Most people just don't have the luxury of storing stuff out of country.

Believe me, I take every opportunity I can to avoid taxes and duties. I hate motherf$c*ing taxes and duties!

Can you also post some more detailed pics showing the actual flushness? I'm thinking of getting F14's and would like a good baseline of offsets.

Yup.
Leave the actual spare at home (and hope for no flats).
Get new wheels and tires mounted on car.
Put one stockie in spare tire compartment.
Leave 3 in a safe place in US (at friends place).
Repeat 3 times until you have all stockies safely back in Canada.

That is normally what I have done in the past. However, leaving wheels/tires at my friends place is kind of inconvenient for them. They probably don't mind too much but I feel bad. I'd prefer to just bring them back to Canada. I just hate the fact that even if I purchase in the US, I need to pay taxes to Canada. I really hate taxes and duties. I actually don't buy much at all in Canada anymore. Everything here is so overpriced relative to the US.
