Shipping from Germany?

[Bimmerfanatik]

What's the cheapest way? Really getting tired of searching ebay and whatnot for some euro weaves, etc, and can find them over in Germany, but what way can I ship them that won't cost more than the rims?

I've seen USPS isn't bad, but can USPS ship from them to us? Is that a dumb question? :(

ive shipped packages to germany, and a 20 lb package was like 90 bucks usps. So im guessing wheels would be about that each, but I guess I wouldnt know how it works exactly for them shipping to us??

Whoa, 90 bucks for a 20 lb package?? What method did you send it? I'd be looking at Surface, which is 4-6 wks...

90 bucks was air, thats what the person wanted, I think surface would've been about half, but then you do have to wait 6 weeks.

Oh, ok...I was gonna say, that seems out of control. I don't mind waiting to save myself a few hundred bucks ;)

well then id guess about 200 total tops for just the wheels, no tires. Too bad shipping a car overseas is so expensive, you could probably get a nice e30 in germany for like 500 bucks..

$200 is reasonable. I'd pay that if I found a decent set of rims.

Cars over there, even the touring, go for dirt cheap. It's not just the shipping either, customs charges and whatnot add up FAST. Couple grand after the dust settles AFAIK. And thats if they even let you...
