I purchased wheels from the states last year for my audi TT (second hand but not use off display car) and let me assure you, the customs guys and girls here are not stupid.. they know, the prices etc... originally my wheels were $1200US and when they arrived, they cost me like another $700AU on top, to get through with shipping fees (they came from California via Hawaii Airlines Freight), customs, and taxes.. all up, they cost me around $2000 AU landed or there abouts... but it was worth it, cause the wheels here from Audi Australia cost $9500 Au...lloll
