I have a set(4) of brand new(unused) golf cart wheels i was planning to put my Hoosier wets on but i changed my mind and may give a try to an other model. They are Vikings and cost me around 400$ including shipping and taxes. Open to sensible offers and can arrange shipping(FedEx). I'm located in Quebec, Canada.

Did we figure out what tyres will 'sensibly' fit over these ?

Thanks

For the street, most people will use 165/70R10 Falken or Yokohama. JeffreyPang on here uses the usual Falkens but he painted the side for a racier look.

Personnally i use those wheels for racing so F500 Hoosier Slicks and wets will fit:

Only quote i have for shipping to UK is from the shipping department here at the office. It's 290$ for FedEx International Priority (48hrs) service. I did not had time this week to go to DHL and FedEx office to get a quote for "drop off" standard ground service. I think it could be cheaper. Anyway, i have the exact dimensions and weight of the box if you want to ask for a quote on your side: 59x59x22cm 13.6kg

Keep you posted,

Micael

It looks like we have a very good shipping cost where I work compared to an individual who shows at DHL or FedEx office. I gave them a visit this morning and it would cost around 400$ for Enonomy Service. In addition, the sender can not prepay taxes sot it's not worth it.

In short, if I make a total of shipping(including taxes) plus wheels, it would cost you 700$(440£) to have them to your door. For that price, I do not think it's hard to find something comparable in England or Europe.

If still intersted, PM me.

Regards,
Micael
