Hi Reggie,
If you have time to post the instruction, that would be really appreciated!!!
Looking at a 18" package at Tirerack.com for my Q5. Any advice on how to choose the wheels at they go from $130-879? Should I avoid those low-end one from China or it really doesn't matter?
If I ship to Canada, how much duty do I need to pay on top of the sales taxes (GST/PST/HST)? Would the taxes be different for different tire/wheel?
Many thanks in advance!!!
Michael

You can also look at Hartmann Wheels as there are some shops that import them (you will have to look at the fourms to see who does it - check the Canadian forums and I know these guys ship to Canada: http://achtuning.com/). TR ships to Canada but I do not know anything about the process but they seem competent at it
Myself I prefer simple five spoke designs that allow for easy cleaning with all the snow and bad weather - clearly the S-Line wheels I have do not meet that criteria
Selecting wheels is such a personal thing - so I really can't make a recommendation for you other than obviously BBS makes great wheels

I shared your pain as I just spend an hour over the weekend cleaning them. The brake dust certainly is very sticky ...
I am also looking at the BBS wheels and the Hartmann wheels. My question is how different they are other than the look. Can I simply pick the one that is most appealing to me in terms of look and brand? Or the material or process they use really matters?
Thanks again.
