Rotas In Canada? - Toyota Yaris Forums

SKurj, here's what I do when the CAD $ is strong. I order my stuff from the US then pick them up across the border myself: http://www.cbiusa.com/

I bought my Eibach prokits this way and saved a bundle (over $120) since items are much cheaper and shipping US-to-US address are mostly free. Also the items arrive much quicker as they don't go through customs.

Been doing this for years and only cost $5.95 USD per package + gas, plus I get to eat some awesome Buffalo wings over at Anchor Bar

p.s. I've been seriously considering getting a set of 15" Rota RBs, i hate the ride on my current 17" and my crappy fuel economy since I put them on again last week.

Yeah, I used to be into modding the bike and bought lots across the border. One of the guys I ride with does the US address thing too. I've never bothered, so long as the seller agrees to ship USPS i have never had a problem.

Bought my last bike in the US and saved over $2000 and at that time the dollar was below par! Its an even better time for cross border shopping now +)

Right now it looks like I mebbe waiting for the next boat from the philipines for my Rotas.

+1 for CBI, used them a few times in the past 6-9 months and not a single issue.

In the end I went with Kosei K1 TS in 17x7 ET 42 with Yoko S Drives from Tirerack

Nice and light for the price. Should be here next week.
