Paul:
The costs are high, wherever you go to have it done.
We sent the first set (4 wheels) over in exchange for another set, and through a friend in Holland they came over to the UK, transport free.
The second set were our first set re-rubbered and we bought them outright from Roy with transport via a friend again.
Even so, we have been very pleased with the quality of Roy's wheels, and if you could find a way to ship to him by sea freight, that is probably the cheapest option.
We were quoted frighteningly high prices for these in the UK, something like $US 450.00 per wheel, although that probably included an element of "We don't really want to do it, but if you're daft enough to pay, we may as well make some good money out of it while we are at it" mentality.
I won't quote Roy's figures but I'm sure he will pop up with a quote, suffice it to say that had we not found Roy through the Forum, we wouldn't have used the carrier wheels.
Might be worth a post on HMVF Forum to see if anyone there has any contacts as well.
