What wheels did you get and if you don't mind could you tell me all the incidental charges that you have to pay (brokerage, duty, taxes) to clear customs. I am very interested in getting some wheels/tires but I am worries about taking a beating at the border.

i got the Enkei RS5 in 18" with Parada Spec-2s. GST and brokerage came out to $180 and duty is going to be around $100, so you will probably will be looking at $300+ because you guys have PST too.
probably $50-70 less if you get 17"s, brokerage is flat rate so that wont change and if you get US made products you wont get charged duty (the Enkeis and Yokohamas are made in Japan so i got screwed, i wish i know before i ordered).
