I can get 17" Mercedes alloys for $200 CDN, but 15" Vanagon ones cost $210 USD +shipping + duty and taxes? At that point, any alternative is a good alternative. >> Shopping helps. I can get new SA Wolfsburg alloys for US$125 each. My vendor sells to the general public at US$156.25. These are not seconds. BTW one listee got a set of the same wheels with nearly new Michelins from him for $450/set of 4. BenT |
