Is there any way to get a Canadian delivery address like a UPS store or similar? The 18" steel wheels are soo inexpensive up there - ~$80 USD each! - 2020 Ford Spare Wheel LB5Z-1015-B | The Truck Lot
I would love 4 of these for winter tires! make it 5 while I am at it for a spare :) I'll drive the ~8 hours and spend a weekend in Toronto to pick them up!

Yes! My best guess is they make these in Canada where they made the Crown Victoria sedans; then there's import / export taxes, shipping, and all kinds of other fees. I used to do work in Canada and yeah, my coworkers there would always come to US to buy stuff.

personal preference but I don’t get the police interceptor vehicle wheel love. They are hideous.

Here is my winter setup. Haven’t had the time to take pic of actual, but this configurator does a good job helping you visualize how they look, before buying.

Do Bora spacers come with lug nuts to hold the spacers on?
