Chris.G · 05-06-2009, 05:11 AM

I need to see them on your ride! Great choice either way.

dukevi · 05-06-2009, 05:36 AM

I love the wheel caps as it is though...!! SICK WHEEL!!! BBS is growing on me

MFKN3 · 05-06-2009, 07:18 AM

Will, you bastard ha ha very nice!! They'll go well with the Vorsteiner gear. How much was shipping? I'm thinking about getting a set from overseas too and the dollar is slowly creeping up

Also, what offset did you get?

Ok, i declared the value at $500 usd, which equivalent to $700 usd so i didnt pay any gst what so ever. here is the breakdown
IMPORT TERMINAL FEE AUD 65
IMPORT DOCUMENTATION FEE AUD 25
CTO FEE AUD 30
AIR CARGO AUTOMATION FEE AUD 15
CMR COMPLIANCE FEE AUD 15
AGENCY AND ATTENDANCE AUD 95
Plus GST service, AUD 25

That's pretty much it :O

sweeeeet

docbeemer · 05-08-2009, 07:36 AM

Very nice! I look forward to seeing them on the car. Post some pics. BTW, which tyres did you decide to use? Your old RFTs or some real tyres? (I did the similar to you but got them sent with tyres fitted- non runflats- when the exchange rate was closer to 0.90c to the dollar!)

MFKN3 · 05-08-2009, 08:53 AM

Aren't all those fees a load of crap!! $650 in shipping sounds high, but I suppose it's a long haul. I'm still tossing up ideas, I'd love some LM's but they are so expensive i couldn't pull the trigger. Maybe some like yours in plain silver or Advan RS or NEEZ euro's or CSL reps. That offset should be perfect, but make sure I think you will find you need tires with a rounded sidewall so they tuck in nicely, especially when you drop it.

nightrain · 05-08-2009, 10:48 AM

yeh, i am going to put yokohama advan sport tires

, they should be fitted to the car next week.. as the toyo t1r is not available in 265 here.

@xsboost yeh the fees are all bullshit, but i have no other choice =(.. jarrad get the lm, i must say that i am impressed with the construction of the rims

nightrain · 05-08-2009, 11:06 AM

i just painted my vrs boot after lots of my friends said that my car looked like rice lolz

rkick08 · 05-08-2009, 11:17 AM

never been a fan of bbs but these are nice hands down.

thanks for that mate. given the shipping fee was around $650USD, does it mean you've paid close to $1k including the clearance fee?

crap, i better think twice before importing wheels from the US.

nightrain · 05-08-2009, 06:56 PM

^yes 1k, about that.. but i still think it saves the money a lot rather than buying the wheels here..

MFKN3 · 05-08-2009, 09:49 PM

that painted bootlid looks awesome mate! much better than the plain carbon on AW.

LM's at the shops here are about $2,500 a corner!!

Sparky66 · 05-09-2009, 12:37 AM

yep, I had some BBS LM's priced about 6 months ago and bill was close to $11,000
