Default Taxes

I hear you Graig, its insane the crap we have to go through.
But in actuality its not the taxes that are killing us right now, it's the US$ exchange rate ... its about 35% ... $1US costs us about $1.35 canadian, 2 weeks ago it was like 40% ! and THEN we get taxed at the border on the after dollar exchange rate !! so thats like almost 50% more than the original US price on the product

Cheers
Steve

Steve ....I had to put a "pause" on custom one off carbon fiber fenders for the blue devil chevelle just for this same reason , thankfully my guy was super understanding. Hopefully it comes back to a dollar amount that helps us ...lol like above the value of the US dollar is OK again

Greg I think he's referring to the dollar exchange right now is killing us Canadians.

To the original poster, I bought some 3 piece forged concave wheels from Rennen for my WK2 Jeep SRT8 and the were priced pretty fairly. Call Rennen forged Direct.
