Canada Lexus GS wheels -Made in ???

So I ordered a set of lexus GS rims from the States.

When bringing it back to Canada I need to know where they are made.

So does anyone know where they are made and are they stamped on the back anywhere to indicate that.

Or is there any source that I could print that indicates that info

thanks

You will have to pay 33% surcharge on top of the purchase price if it's made in Japan.

Thanks

I thought you meant the 33% on top of taxes.

I thought it would be something like that.

The deal is still pretty good seeing I cannot find the wheels here used/take offs

Wheels and tires, yes, I believe generally car stuff are charged like that. Some agents are anal about it, some just don't care.

Get lots of these from the Autocrossing community because tires are just SO much cheaper in the States
