I'm a bit shocked

I have just been quoted the price of $680 USD per rim for the LR 18" Rims. So that would be $3,400 + Tax + cost of tires + mounting = Big Cry I am certainly not an expert but 680/rim seems a bit over the top.

What do you folks think?

This is also from the same dealer that said the LR seat covers only come in Tan/Sand...

Used 18" rims with servicable tyrestend to go for £200-£300 for 4 in the UK , so $600 tops? About $300 for shipping? There'd be import duty too, but still cheaper than the whammy your dealer is trying on. No idea if there is any market in used 18" LR wheels in the US Confused
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Ukraine 

Most get advertised as local pick-up only but there's usually a UK Disco3 member local enough to collect and store while you arrange transport.

2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Manual Zambezi SilverDiscovery 3

Will have a full set of 5 available from the second week in November.
All with approx 6mm of tread on. No wheels are scratched or kerbed. Some laquer is starting to discolour on a couple of wheels, but they look good when clean.

Will post a link once on ebay.

It maybe cheapper to just get the rims and get the tyres in the US as the weight of the tyres will add alot to the cost of P&P to the US
