Importing to the UK

Hi Guys

I'm a 1991 RS owner from the United Kingdom.
First up some of you guys have awesome cars and certainly know how to show the ricers a thing about style.

I have been trying to decide what wheels to put on my car. Have finally decided on American Eagle 203's and have done a photoshop



Being in the UK it can be a challenge to get parts for the car and I am struggling to find someone over here with these alloys.

What I am after is a list of places on the web that will stock thees so I can try and find out if the will ship to the UK.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers

Konrad

Summit Racing has that wheel in stock and will ship to the U.K. They are probably one of the biggest aftermarket parts shipper in America and are very reliable and good to do business with. I have spent thousands of dollars with them. I called them for you and asked about the wheel you are looking for and shipping. You can order over the internet but they highly recommend calling on international orders. Phone number 1-330-630-3030. They are open 24hours a day so you should not have any problems with time zones when you call. I have attached a link to there site and the part number and shipping rates for your wheel.

http://www.summitracing.com

Part number: AEW-20397809 Series 203, 16" x 8", 5 x 4.5-4.75" Bolt Circle, 4.5" Backspace, (Will fit perfect).


Cost is $159.95 U.S. Dollars, 87.35 in U.k British pounds.

The weight of the wheel is 21 pounds each. To ship AIR Mail parcel (4 to 10 days) shipping would cost approx. $320.00 (175 British pounds)

To ship Economy parcel it would cost approx. $200.00 and take about 4 weeks. (109 British pounds)

They do have the wheel in stock. I also listed below from there frequently asked questions section.

Hope this helps you out.

Thanks

Question
What is your policy on international or foreign shipping?

Answer
Foreign customer status is applied to anyone outside the U.S., Canada, or U.S. Territories. Since our toll free phone number does not apply to foreign countries, order forms can be faxed to us at (330)630-5333 and an order confirmation will be sent to the customer via E-mail.

Foreign, or international, shipments are assessed a $23.95 handling fee per order regardless of size unless the order has a domestic shipping destination in which case the handling fee will be $8.95. All orders must be pre-paid and actual shipping rates will be charged. Most foreign orders default to Surface Parcel Post if you do not select another method. Depending upon your location and size of the order, different shipping methods are available. Ask your salesperson for available options or fax us a shipping quote request with all your parts and shipping address for an estimate. Foreign customers should also be aware that if several items are ordered and one is on backorder, the whole order will be placed on a "Full Order Hold" until the backordered item arrives. We do this in order to save the customer two separate shipping charges. If you wish to have the available items shipped and are willing to pay the separate charges, simply specify at the time you place your order and we can accommodate your request. Hazardous materials can not be shipped to foreign customers at this time.
Invoice must reflect actual product prices for parts shipped
