    I just added the ones I wanted to my cart and the shipping cost scared me away. Good deal but I wish these qualified for free shipping.

    I wish they did as well, but I wouldn't be able to run deals like this or have Alzor be so well budget friendly if we free shipped the wheels. That being said reach out to my sales guys ([email protected]) sometimes they are able to get shipping costs down a touch on wheels.

    Thanks James. I sent them an inquiry along with some fitment questions. Hoping to get these ordered by the weekend.

    I'm in the same boat. The shipping negates any money saved by the sale. Which sucks because I love the look of the wheels and was gonna pick some up.

    This sale is a marketing gimmick. The shipping alone eats the entire 25% discount.

    Please post again if this goes with free shipping.

    Nice try

    Still no response from the sales team. Hoping to get an answer from them before the sale ends.

    No. It's not a marketing gimmick as much as it is just expensive to ship. It'll be expensive with or without the sale.

    They have shipped free in the past during their Alzor sales but not this time.

    I really wish more people understood how markups and profits work.

    $337 for a set of wheels is a ridiculous price... markup at that point is probably 10 - 20% at most. 20% of $337 is a bit over $60 bucks.

    Shipping to me came out to $70 (that's cheap to ship 4 wheels). If they ship for free they lose money... not the smartest business decision.

    Also, there is no such thing as "free shipping", the shipper pays that out of pocket when the margins are big enough.

    Small margin, you pay shipping...

    Large margin = free shipping, you pay shipping... you just don't know you did.

    If $400.00 is too expensive for you then wheel shopping shouldn't be at the top of your to do list anyway...

    We live in an era of free shipping, I feel like amazon spoiled it for everybody. I’m only 18 and I remember being a kid when shipping was usually $10 for just about anything, now I use amazon so much $10 shipping feels high. Even though it really isn’t

    They have shipped these wheels at no cost to the customer in the past when they were on sale so that is why I asked. I just figured I could save a little bit more money since I would also need to purchase spacers and bolts from them. $412.46 for wheels plus $60.28 shipping plus $104.95 for spacers/bolts makes them closer to $600 which is still a deal BUT not as sweet of a deal when purchasing replica wheels.

    Yeah honestly if they'll work with me on shipping I'll buy a set today. I don't even want it free, just not an arm and a leg.
