GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I am new here! I have an 04 Vibe ( Grey )Saw a couple threads with different wheels, here are a few that catch my eyeTENZO Dc-6 Version 2 Black FlatLINK TENZO Gt-6 Black Gloss LINK TENZO Dc-6 Version 1 Gunmetal Flat LINK I am kinda digging the gunmetal flat or the Gt-6 Black Gloss. Has anyone ordered off this site can tell me anything ?? Good Service etc ??

Welcome to GenVibe! I like the first one. It might just be the generic picture, but it look like it has a really low offset. OEM offset is +38 for 16" & +42 for 17".

Crap I just realized this company is in the states, this means I will be paying out the *** in duty. Does anyone know a good place in Canada to order wheels from ?

Thanks for the Welcome A member suggested this site http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=9830To bad they don't have much for black

You're on the right track with black wheels. I wish I could help ya with the whole Canada thing. Good luck!

all three styles look pretty slick. you might even try going with a gun metal and chrome for more choices.good luck w/the canada thing

Thanks guys.I just need to find somewhere in Canada which has wheels and tire combos or w/eI could order from that company, but I would be paying a lot of duty.........Canadian dudes help me out ?

This place is in B.C.http://www.tiretrends.com/index.php3Wheelsnext ships to Canada and might still be cheaper,since the duty & taxes are included in the shipping.Good to see a noob with decent taste in rims.Most of the people that ask for rim help,pick ugly rims.

All the way from Prince George, eh?Tirerack.com ships to Canada. I haven't dealt with them personally but I've heard good things. Apparently they changed some of their shipping policies (or companies) and the duty isn't as bad there. If the rim is NA made there shouldn't be any duty on it.

Says I am responsible for duty and taxes at wheelsnext.@kunkstyleCould you please elaborate on that a bit.. As far as I know its up to the guys at the border who do the duty no ?

Welcome Sull... I like option 3, but have a look at Rota wheels... they are inexpensive, have a LOT of "knock off" styles and a lot of my Subie bretheren use them... I don't know about the shipping though... Give Tire Rack a call and ask them about shipping... (they don't sell Rota though)

hmm these look not bad if you view then on the vehicle ?http://www.tirerack.com/wheels...=1024c ... iteEDIT:ok maybe not, estimated shipping is 1000 dollars lol

As far as I know its up to the guys at the border who do the duty no ?Yes, but through NAFTA anything made in Canada, US, or Mexico is duty free. I would assume that this applies to shipping, too. What they will get you on is brokerage fees (if you can avoid UPS, by all means do.) That being said I'm not sure what there is for made in NA rims. I'd call tire rack and ask some questions. They're a sponsor on another forum I frequent and do lots of Canadian orders. They should be able to tell you what you're looking at in terms of duty & shipping. Also, even if you do get hit with duty it shouldn't be much more than 6%. I like those ones you linked to. I was looking at those for my Vibe.$1000? I think someone missed a decimal.

Hmm now that I think about it silver rims would be nice, maybe thesehttp://www.wheelsnext.com/whee....htmlYeah I would have to call them and see because it clearly stated over 1000 dollars haha

I'd say number 1 or 2.I was going to buy off of wheelsnext because of the included shipping to Canada.

Hmm I am not sure now though, my vibe is the grey/silver not sure the exact name, on the one site it was called satellite! I am thinking maybe silver rims, but the rims I posted above are so dam hot !!!!check these LINK Or should I stay away from silver and go black ??

Silver or gunmetal.

Well after looking at different configurations of peoples vibes I think silver is more appropriate for the color of my vehicle. I am also thinking ordering from the states might be a better option even if I get charged duty the cost will still be lower than say http://www.tiretrends.comI am on a budget for sure and don't need anything super crazy. Check out these Here is a similar wheel pictures on the vibe ( MY COLOR )LINK Even with the exchange rate + duty ( brokerage etc ) the price is still cheaper than tire trends going with the cheapest option!!!
