Did u ass to cart and see what the taxes come up to?

I buy from amazon all the time and usually they're reliable.

I'm not sure if stuff like Rims would qualify for free super-saver shipping but I'm pretty sure that if you're an Amazon Prime member then it should.


Make sure to ship them to trinidad via seafreight rather than skybox. If the skybox ppl don't get you with the weight charges, then they'll kill you with volumetric weight instead.

Sea freight would take approx 2 weeks to land, plus 2-5 days to clear depending on your company/ broker. Companies like Laparkan and Freight forwarders will clear the shipment for u at a small fee.


Also, I believe the duties on rims and tyres are 30% each, so if you bring down the rims with tyres already mounted, then you pay duty only once.
And if you get the person who's shipping the rims for you to clear them as "used", then the duty will also be less.

Recommended. I bought my rims and tyres from here......much better selection and they came Hunter Roadforce balanced. I used consolidated air freight cause I wanted them quickly....through an ordering company in NY.

ek4ever, would the prices via airfreight be comparable to seafreight?

I thinking of going with Laparkan for seafreight.
Anyone had experience with them?

See a nice set of american racing rims i wanna get for the nav.
