How to buy wheels from Japan?!

I've imported a couple of sets of wheels.

I use a middle man/company (like From Japan), but prepare to pay a lot.
Depends on what shipping method you choose obviously, but i always use 'auction price * 3' as a rule of thumb when it has landed after import duties etc. etc.
If you still think it's worth it after that: go for it.

I don't think you can ship wheels with tires around the world, so to avoid that i always bid on wheels without

My last set of wheels was a set of 15x6,5 (and 1 15x7) for 27.000 Yen, in the end i paid another 20.000 on top of that for service fees, inland shipping and surface mail to the Netherlands. After that where import duties. Which made this quite an expensive set of wheels, but i wanted them for a looong time, so i went with it.

I use importmonster.com as a middleman - they have an English version of Japanese yahoo auction, items get shipped to their Japanese warehouse and then they send them to you.

Obviously they charge a fee and shipping to U.K. and then you'll have to pay customs when they arrive and a 3rd party handling company if they come via boat so it does all add up.

Talk to Rimscarnated, he gets wheels from Japan quite often.

I used Jesse Streeter and he is awesome

Import Duty and VAT is due on the total amount including shipping. This applies for anywhere outside the EU (currently).

Just checked- I used bidJDM. They were pretty good, but a bit slow on comms on a couple of occasions.
