Default Who's Bought Rims In The U.S and Shipped Them Here

As the title suggests, im looking into getting some wheels from the U.S. and having them flown back. I was just looking for people who have done that, their experiences, costs and what website/company they went through.

The wheels i was looking at getting are Vossen CV1s either 19" or 20" and its planned to go into my next car when mine eventually gets sold. I enquired at tech9tyres and they quoted a total of $3800 shipped to the store in 3weeks by airfreight. I wanted to have a look around myself but dont know where to start. Vossen dont sell directly to us they go through dealers.

Considering the strength of our AUD i cant think of a better time to look.

So to make it easier maybe for everyone il put this down:

Wheels Bought:
Size::
Weight (if applicable)
Cost per wheel:
Freight Company and cost:
Wheel Dealer:

Experiences:




THANKS

Remember you will have to pay 10% duty and 10% GST on top of any shipment that comes to over $1000.

Unless they are a quality rim, I wouldn't bother ordering overseas.

Yeah i just plan on trying to beat dealer prices here as they have to get it from the U.S anyway. Theyre vossen forged wheels so im pretty sure theyre half decent.
