Now we just need to get those prices as well

Bought from them previously, cost $337 for shipping to Melbourne (4 x 17x7" wheels) - not for the 86 though.

I will be buying my wheels off them in the future as they appear to have the best price on both wheels and tires.

Even with shipping, they blow aussie retailers out of the water on price. Kinda sad really

Don't forget to add customs, GST, import brokerage etc. I've found that it quickly adds up remember that if cost of wheels+shipping is greater than 1k you will pay duty, and GST.

I did the math on my wheels and found it was just as cheap to buy from STT (if your wheels + shipping are less than 1k then it may be cheaper to go Tirerack) - I have purchased from Tire rack previously and have no problems with them or their pricing just beware of the cost of getting stuff into Aust if you haven't imported before and do your research

What about just doing two orders? Also if you are willing to take the risk ask them to misrepresent the price lol

They won't do the second as they a reputable company.

Customs are on to the two shipments trick also.

With import savings it's either worth it legally or it isn't worth it at all.

More sites to check for wheels and tires:

www.discounttiredirect.com
http://www.machiii.net/index.php/wheels.html

I've bought from both of these vendors and tirerack.com (several times from discount and tire rack, only once and a long time ago for machiii) and have never had a problem.

I have to say, I came in here ready to flame the poster because everyone in the US knows Tire Rack.

The two shipments thing is an easy way around the duty and as long as you order a few days to a week apart you would be desperately unlucky to get stung. Still cheaper even with rip off tax.

My issue with tire rack is their offsets, they stock the highest offset available on every wheel it seems.
