lol^
(i dont think he was talking about if it would be insured or not :P )

id say do your homework, look at the sellers previous feedback, get in touch with him, see if he will ship international, make sure you do all the necessary paperwork aswell, but be careful.

You should be able to get those wheels here........i think the brand is "Advanti Racing" or something similar.
:idea: Take a picture of the wheels to a large tyre/wheel shop and ask.

what he said - It's not really any different to buying from ebay anywhere else in the world.

Trust your instincts, get in touch with the seller and see how fast/good they are at responding, look at the feedback and try to find where they've sold similar items and where they've gone.

Had a look at some of the feedback, he's on 100% which is great but a few of the items were out of stock - which makes you wonder how efficient he is if he's selling stuff he doesn't have yet, or sells stuff that by the time the auction's ended, he's sold off-ebay.

In saying that, the feedback indicates that he does quick shipping, so might be OK.

Maybe even contact him to double check he's definitely got them in stock and ask if he's willing to do an off-ebay sale for a little less (it will save him the listing and final value fees (not much but might be worth a go!!))

I recently bought four new tyres and a bunch of other stuff from the UK.

Freight cost me GBP92.00 and they came in with UPS seven days later.

Obviously the merchant had negotiated special rates on account of the number and value of shipments they do, but I was well impressed with this.
