to be honest i dont know the wheels were AU1800 (including frieght) and fedex called me when they got to aus and said import duties were AU250.

I really just dont exactly know how its worked out.

They are sweet rims mick.....they will look awesome on your vette.  :v

Whats with FedEx charging you AU$250? I thought they can only charge you 10% gst/duty since the rims are made in the USA (American Racing).
but yeah, what can you do? if you want your package you gotta pay it.

anyway, stuff the money, its about the fun and enjoyment you will be getting from those rims!

Have you decided what tyres/sizes your going with?
If you have offset trailing arms you can go wider on the rear, but I guess you know all of this anyway.

jolinari these prices are not expensive! Thats what they cost these days! If anything they are cheap! You cannot find cheaper wheels of this quality! I'm sure you can find cheaper 'made in Taiwan' wheels, but they look crap and wont last! I can almost guarentee that your wheels if bought new would come close to micks price and yours are only 15in diameter! My wheels were $2800US !!!!!! (no that doesnt include tyres!) But they are bigger in size than micks!

i was just weighing up the costs between here snd the us...u d think that importers would buy by the conatiner therefore the prices should be cheaper...but it isnt the case!
