Hello everybody,

shipping cost from Germany have changed on 01.01.2005 For a pair of rims, You have to use the parcel from o to 5 kilogram. This is now 32,00 EUR / 44,00 USD. This is for slow surface mail. With quicker airmail its is 48,00 EUR/ 65,00 USD.

Unfortunately You must use a big box, matching the measurements : 120 cm x 60 cm x 60 cm.

The german transporters will be very exact, if the second size is over 60 cm, only 62 cm, You will receive the parcel back.

There is no cheaper way for shipping. No Maxiletter, no Päckchen.

This is like a robbery !!
