It would be really cool if someone bought those and had them shipped to the US :-)

Default No, that would suck...

There are actually 2 sets on ebay.de, one listed under "audi rs6" and the other under the less well known "audi rs 6". There are usually 3-5 sets available at any give time and often it is the same person selling set after set...I don't really get it.
But anyway, the problem is shipping. Many sellers will not ship outside of Germany, some ship to all of Europe but that's it. Shipping to the U.S. is ~$400 from the USPS located on U.S. military bases. I have no idea what shipping would be from the usual local sources...if you could get someone willing to do it...if you can find one who understands enough English...if you can get one to not cancel your bid when your bid shows your location in the U.S.

It's messy...but you could try e-mailing the seller(s) through eBay and see if they will be willing to work with you...

But, then again...don't do it...it's not worth the hassle...they are really kind of ugly anyway...no one likes them...

Default Oh yeah, and I hear there is some kind of import tariff also...

which is conveniently avoided when using the USPS, but otherwise I don't know how much it costs...

Well, I think, in general, a lot of Americans are stupid and arrogant...but not likely any more so than most other places...but why is it that "we" are perceived that way? I suspect it is jealousy...of American "wealth, power, and relative freedom". I don't really know though...as I am ignorant
