I bought both wheels and tires from the States and had both sets shipped to Niagara Falls, New York.
I'm having them put together locally.
It might have been easier (and cheaper) to have had them put together there, but they arrived at different times.
I probably wouldn't have brought rims I would have already had. Didn't want any fuss at the border. With nothing in my car crossing over into the States, I had no issues. I had the receipt ready for the tires and wheels. They asked me both times why I was crossing. When I showed them the receipts, they were like, "Oh, okay" as if they've seen it before.
I've calculated that, even with the expenses of travelling to the border (twice), etc., I've saved a total of $500
I've used CBI USA a few times now to store items, and give them a thumbs-up.
