| I'm glad I'm not the only one that caught that. At that price you can get 2 sets anywhere else! Let me know if anyone finds out any info on the seller, I would buy a set if that is true! |

I emailed to find out more - they could not provide any references as they are "just starting" to sell the wheels.
Shipping to Toronto, Canada is $450 which puts a damper on the good deal.
Looks like CIP1 would be the way to go on these...... |

We got this reply;
For your info'
For purchase 100 ea and up the price would be $60/ea
Sea freight to US
For 22 ft container it will cost about $3300 - $3600
22 ft can load 900-1000 BRM's
LCL (less container loaded )= US 130-160 /CBM
(approximate) depend on what is port destination.
Volume of 1 piece BRM is = 0.50 X 0.50 X 0.2 =
0.05CBM
No, we don't have Web site
thank you
kind regards
Muz

indonesia is the worst place you could send money. i know a few people that have got scammed from indonesia.
at my work we also get an order a week for 20 msd boxes or
20 sets of ida carbs
and no one ever complaines that they never get the parts with the bogus credit card. i tell them to wire us the $$ and you never hear back.
i have to say stay away from that deal

I think what he is saying is no middle Man "mark up price" BUT nothing on quality of rims and if they even meet US standards. Could be 2nds or 3rds? they only state any color

He wants to sell a sea container of them? Well, that's about 896 more BRM's than I really need.
Besides, sending money to Indonesia is risky. I much prefer to buy my parts from the deported widows of late Nigerian generals.....

I don't think anyone here is going to take the bait. I ordered mine on Friday from VeeDub Parts Unlimited (great to deal with).
