<![CDATA[IMPORTED AMERICAN ALLOYS]]>I found this shop that is selling american alloys here for the same price with shipping as buying a set here but these look a lot better than UK ones

Does anyone know if there are any differences, I cannot think of any, the only thing I know is that imported boat trailers tend to need the wheels changing as they do not meet the UK standards for wheels do not know if it applies to alloys too.

Heres the shop anyway

Parcel force + royal mail is the worse they do every parcel + charge you an extra £10 for the privelige of working out what you owe the government as for the others I import a lot of yacht spares and have not once paid the taxes
