Default Importing from the US

I recall that certain people have tried to ship wheels from Jeff at Evolution without success in recent months and so have sourced Volks from MVP. However, MVP does not appear to sell CE28Ns, or at least they are not listed on the website anyway. I'd must rather have some 18" mercury silver CE28Ns - can someone remind me of the way of getting the wheels collected from Evolution and shipped over here? I know someone mentioned a method, I can't find it using the search engine though

Do you mean the company which offers you a US postage address and then ships to the UK for you, Craig? If so, it's stuck at the top of the FS&W board (I think).

Or you could arrange a collection using a courier company in the UK - same as what we did for the Amuse GB.

Ah! Thanks guys! Still in two minds though, if I'm spending lots of money then some lightweight 18" wheels seem appropraite, but then I may need to lower the car and that means new coil overs etc etc. Mikey, get those wheels on your car so I can take a gander at them!

Was just about to post a thread about this very thing Craig!

Anyone have any idea what duty and shipping is likely to cost on wheels costing, say, between
