That's not to say you can't bring them in, but they are certainly not going to be a cheaper option.

You can however bring in a white set and powdercoat them in black which will still work out at a reasonably decent price(still going to be around $500-$600 per corner! not including tyres!)

Hmm.. $236US each from tire rack in either the black or white (same price), even have a special on 18" white at similar cost. Plus shipping, customs etc

Anyone know roughly then what these would be landed? Past experience?

tire rack will give you a cost including freight. If its over 1k AUS you'll pay gst and duty on top. Can't remember if the free trade agreement with US/AUS still stands and the duty in null and void.

Yep, I was going to say order 2 then a few days later order another 2. Fuck the taxes, spend on tires instead

My Enkei's came from tirerack, they were $235 per rim. I got slugged with customs duty

total including shipping was $1180 USD, landed around $1400 AUD

Free trade is only for items made in the USA, Tirerack wouldn't mark down the price on the packing slip nor write PRODUCT OF THE USA like i asked

its about $250 to ship it and customs duty comes to about $250. I worked out it would actually cost me more to have them ship 2 sets of 2 rims

plane ticket anyone?

Ok so after some research and narrowing the decision down i have:

Black Supertursimo GT (only in the 17")

White Superturismo GT (17" or 18")

Enkei GW8 (17 or 18) - something different

Gram Lights (17) - nice - pricey tho!

Thoughts/opinions?
