That warehouse, wherever it is in L.A. doesn't exactly inspire confidence... Looks like a prop from The Walking Dead.

As far as the Compomotive, I was quoted £197 per wheel and £197 for shipping of all 4 or 5 to Cambridge, MA.

That sounds about right, my total price for 5 was £1205.00 to Cali... Must have had a sucky exchange rate back in January.

I have never even heard of this shop? Hmmm.

I don't know, I almost rather just order from the source in the UK.

Have you seen it? Scratch that, I just took a look at the photo. It looks like a condemned shack. Yikes. Though, it does say that they will be opening a new shop in downtown LA. That confirms I want to go directly through Compomotive.

I am planning to order five wheels in the fall most likely - or maybe earlier. Then I have to think about tires

I am going to keep my current wheels and Coopers.

Did any of you guys who ordered directly from the UK had to pay taxes or custom fees as the wheels arrived in the States?
If yes, about how much?
I'm going to visit my friends and family in France and I'm wondering if I could buy the Compos there (or quick flight to the UK) and not have to pay the VAT (about 20%) and ship them to myself... Maybe too much leg work
Thank you
Axel

It's actually from Australia. Check the exchange rate on the Aussie dollar. No extra impor fees that I remember.

Huh? Australia? Are we still talking about Compomotive wheels?

The price they quote is inclusive of freight and customs fees / duties. I got a duties and entry fees invoice in the mail from UPS shortly after receiving the wheels, but only for my files. Compomotive paid for those. The wheels also arrived very quickly, 2 days after they were shipped from their UK plant.

You are correct. Sorry, was confusing them with my LLAMS

Thank you Umberto.
I know they have a reseller in Australia but I'll be going through Compomotive UK directly when I go for it.
Found a couple rims that are made here that work too...
