| | Certificate for rims bought abroad
I've watching some wheels/rims on ebay.de recently but I know I would need a certificate (beiblatt) for CH.
Is it possible to get one?...And since I assume yes, what's the procedure for doing so?
Thanks

its money for doing very little, i buy lots from germany and have the certificate from CH without any issues.
On a different note you appear very negative in lots of postings tonight, try some of the blue pills and less of the red ones or put the bottle down until you are happier or stop being a tool, whichever is easier.

The wheels I'm looking to buy are Keskin KT4. |

contact the swiss distributors and ask them to supply a certificate

Not a good idea in this country...

I guess I will be OK as I am working in Geneva next week!

Not a good idea in this country... | | | | | I'd say that was a fairly common practice over here, whatever your nationality. Plenty of people (un)modifying their cars to make sure it gets through the MFK.
The problem of course would be if you were to have an accident with your non-standard parts and no certificate of conformity (even if they were totally safe)- you'd probably not be insured! I'm considering buying an additional set of wheels for my car; I balk at paying double what they would cost in Germant for instance. But I would get hold of a certificate of conformity from the Swiss Importer. I'm guessing that would cost around 50 CHF- that's what I had to pay for a new certificate on my sports exhaust- because the NUMBER PLATE had changed when I bought my car. joke, but that's how it works here I guess!

Day one ATM (after the mail): no response from the rim importer.

Good luck, however I would not hold my breath whilst waiting!

Get someone to phone them or the head office in germany. You will get your response quicker. However I would not tell them you will buy in Germany as it's cheaper, just say you have them already and need the Swiss paper
