Hi Jay.

 

There the same wheels I had my eye on.

Getting the tires ship with wheel will be very heavy increasing shipping cost, so we suggest you getting the tires from your local store.

Currently, due the low prices offering of this VERTEC QUEST VR5 wheel from the manufacturer in Japan, so stock has been all sold out by the Manaray manufacturer http://www.marukanet.co.jp/wheel/wheel.html and back ordering will be 4 weeks later upon confirming this wheel ordering with Manaray manufacturer , so note that we only can get the wheel in 4 weeks time before we can ship it out from Japan upon any of your confirmation of this wheel ordering.

 

As for shipping, this wheel are packed and will be ship in 4 carton boxes, so preferred shipping method will be suggested by International freight forwarding company BAX Global , and will cost additional estimated JPY 45,000 or less for Air Freight shipping.
