Buy Bmw Alloy Wheels Online And Ship To Th ?

[bkmbkk]

I am looking to change the alloy wheels on my 3 serie year 2011 to 19 inch+ some desent sport tyres (non runflat tyre).

Went on alloywheelsdirect.net and they sell 4 original pcs incl. tyres and shipment to Th for 2897,20 GBP = 145000 Baht incl.

Shipment alone is 633 GBP = 32000 Baht

Same wheels from a BMW dealer in Th incl tyres are 197838,72 Baht.

I don't dare yet to order online - as we all know - the customs are waiting for them.

The online dealer (from UK) don't do in customs.

Have you bought wheels or other stuff online and dealt with customs ?

The wheels is a quite big package so it will not get in unnoticed.

Must i buy from BMW TH ?

You might pay that again in import duty.

Buy 1 at a time and get send by Ems post should be do able. Sometimes they just let things through with no tax other times you have to pay. Also when you buy tell them to put lower amount on invoice but not too low.

[richard_smith237]

Get them sent to a friend in the UK and ask him to ship them via standard mail (i.e. EMS).

The idea of sending 4 separate shipments (i.e. a few days apart) is a good one. Some of them might slip though the customs net.

Expect to pay tax and figure that into your cost calculations then you won't get a shock when they arrive and you get stung for customs.

The guess is that Customs will charge and additional 40% (I got that figure of TV.com so it could be inaccurate).

If the nr is 40% , then you pay 40% on everything including the shipping cost and insurance . On top of that you will pay 7% vat also due to all costs so also on the shipping cost .

Who manufactures the wheels Enkei etc? perhaps you can find an aftermarket dealer that sells that make they probably won't stock but may be able to source otherwise buy from BMW TH and save yourself a headache or even perhaps a coronary .

Another option though likely additional cost but maybe not as much depending is to order the wheels one at a time so they don't garner as much attention on entry as a singular big ticket item though shipping cost is going to be slightly higher?

[bkmbkk]

Ya I am not to keen as well on this online thing.

I see a lot of haressment comming my way with that.

The wheels is from BMW - they have a name and number as BMW refer to.

I do not see any other brand name other than BMW and they have a lot of aftermarket wheels for the different BMW's.

It is sold as origina BMW wheels by BMW and the online firm as well.

^^Doh!! Just realized I echoed some other posters like my post was original . Nice idea guys wish I had though of it ?? That's what I get for being in too much of a hurry to read the whole thread .

[sketcher]

Not sure if this is possible or legal but any chance you could buy them in Malaysia, drive there, have them change your wheels and drive back?

Your bmw is from gray market or directly from bmw thailand? Reason i am asking is because of the BSI. My 520 is from bmw thailand and i did buy original M5 rims shipped from usa, when i went to millennium for bsi they asked me to put back the original rims with tires back and only then i can get my bsi resumed.

My car is not gray import.

I asked about the wheels at the BMW dealer in Phuket and they have brohcures over wheels - as can be found on BMW web sites.

Nobody said anything about BSI.

Are BMW (in your case) saying you can't change to other original BMW wheels built for your model ?

In that case you would wonder why they offer so many other types of wheels for sale ?

Do you think you would get the same story from all dealers ? Could it be another story at another dealer ?

Thank you for the warning, I will make sure to ask before buying.

BSI = BMW Service Included.

Oil change, brake pads + other stuff, changed free of charge by BMW

[steveromagnino]

Lenso and a few other locally made brands will be around the prices you want.

Spend time on any of the car owner associations, and there are usually people selling complete sets of wheels and tires including some from BMW.

But whether you will keep your BSI or not....I presume you are using BMW Barcelona? You might be ok; Millenium seems to have the most reaction to any changes to the car outside of their own workshops. Probably easier to 'claim' the wheels were 2nd hand or bought from a friend than to admit to importing yourself.

Armed with a picture of the wheels you want go to every shop you see with alloy wheels in the window, there are many in BKK. Somewhere there is a set. You just didn't find them yet!
