Hi guys

Getting prices from Nengun show that they are considerably cheaper than most of the other quotes ive gotten - under 3k for a set of 18x9.5 TE37s.

Should I not be so tempted by this and realize that I will be bitten by customs tax? Ive heard several people say that you may slip under the radar, but for some reason im doubting that a set of wheels will be able to... and even if they dont, Im wondering if the total cost will STILL be equal to or less than some of the other prices I have... Can anyone whos in the know, or has bought wheels from Nengun before, shed some light?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks heaps,

Andrew

I have bought plenty of wheels....and one thing I won't buy from nengun is wheels. Go thru some of the traders on here or ns.com. Their prices factor in all duties, tax and freight so at the end of the day you're not gonna be hit with unexpected costs.

Get the 4 rims sent to 4 different addresses, that they will all be under $1000 each and avoid any taxes and it wouild not be illegal to do

Never thought about that. I've only thought about getting the wheels sent one at a time to avoid taxes.

Its actually illegal if you paid for them at once i think you'll find.

Were you one of the kids that sat up the front of the class at school?

Buy them in 4 different names, mum dad sister brother etc. It is not that hard to work out

He's one of the people smart enough not to condone illegal activities on a public internet forum...

Keep in mind that customs will ask you to supply an invoice (via your customs broker) to prove the price of the items if they pull you up. If you only have one invoice saying $3000 then this wont work.

What does seating position in school classroom have to do with unlawful tax evasion?

If it does have something, maybe you were behind the portable on the weed and enjoying "high" time a bit too much.

Tax evasion is just that, and its illegal.

If you wanna talk illegal activites, i'll gladly send you on a holiday from the forum.

Packed nicely into a nutshell there :)

I agree, tax evasion is illegal, not disputing that.

But, wheels are sold price per wheel and are listed that way. So if you buy them one at a time and send them, you can not be breaking the law. That was my point.

If you buy a twin turbo "kit" for a GTR and split the turbos and send seperatly, yes then you are breaking the law.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
