Default Importing Wheels

Anyone have any experience with importing wheels from Japan? Prices over here are crazy! Looking to get a set of Advan RS

Anything i need to be careful with in regards to customs?

Thanks
Andrew

Another option is to buy rims from america with the strong exchange rate, I managed to land a new set of gram light 57fs for $1500AUD with shipping... a lot of the vendors over there are willing to devalue to avoid customs.
