Buying Wheels Through Nengun

[Sol32]

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.

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

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.
