Its going to cost me

$1500 for the rims 20x8.5
$US 890 for Postage
Plus what ever custom fees i get charged.

so im guessing around $2500 for them
Do you reckon its worth it or does anyone know any replicas out there.

[chargeR]

Those wheels must be very heavy or you are getting raped on postage. I got 4 16" steel wheels sent from the US for $300 or so.

They look decent on the car if that look is your thing.

Take into account that a decent 20" tyre is going to be quite expensive.

[Tegzieboi_BAR]

The rims look awesome bro, it is a fair bit pricey, perhaps call up a few local wheel shops n c if they can supply em, u'll prolly save a bit if they do.

Tyres r gna kill u man, at least $300 a pop if ur goin 4 a decent brand.

[LD_Mart]

yeh well Jax quick fit tyres said they dont know anything about them and couldnt find anybody who knew anything about them.

Bob Jane said they are gonna find out of this guy who is pretty dodgy as long as i didnt mind if some dodgy guy imported them so yeh...

Tyres i know are gonna be pretty pricey im getting 235/30Z R20. Falken FK 452 $220 each which is pretty good deal...

chargeR - can i ask what postage company u used... mine are coming from jakarta so its less distance then us if it makes a difference...
Rims are 15.1kg each

The company that manufactured my wheels, Diamond Racing, sent them for me. I believe they used DHL or one of the major courier companies but I threw out all the paperwork that came with them so I can't be sure. My wheels were much lighter though and smaller so your price is not unreasonable I guess.

im going to say its not worth it. your getting raped on postage..

[LD_Mart]

postage is a B*TCH ay...

Any body know any replicas or ones like it

[Type R Positive]

Those rims look sexy!

wow ffarrrrrkkk!!!!

[FASN8U]

hot rims , look good on ur car. but realy not worth it when you consider the 100000 different rim choices there are out there. i know you probably have your heart set on threm but if i were you id forget about em

[Crapdaz]

nice wheels but expensive to get them in <-- not as expensive as Rays CE28N though.

using my calculation from the import tax thread.
assuming your scenario,

Total Customs Value = $1500

Total Duty Payable (10&#37; of customs value) = $150

Total GST Payable (10% of Total of Customs Value + Duty Payable + Shipping/Insurance Cost) = 10% x ($1500 + $150 + $890) = $254

Declaration Processing Charge (Fixed amount charged) = $48.85

Total Payable = Customs Value + Duty Payable + GST Payable + Declaration Processing Charge = $452.85

in addition to your $1500 and $890 shipping.

Total you will spend would be $2842.85USD. <--- assuming it's in USD dollars

Please note this is rough a estimation and due to economic changes or commercial amendments in costs or process, will not be held against my calculation. Only for insight on the costs you will be required to pay. This calc is a template from me importing Tein monoflex +/- 40kg, yours may be more expensive cause they would be +/- 60kg.

Far out i have expensive taste decided postage is a bitch so went looking for new rims.
Work VR-T1S - really want this style or same as the one above.
Anyone know any replicas

[Crapdaz]

Where are you located?

[LD_Mart]

Hornsby, Sydney ... Why??

[Crapdaz]

have you checked like tempetyres,payless tyres, talebtyres or ozzytyres for replica lookalikes?

[LD_Mart]

yeh checked there websites. went jax and bob jane to see if they knew any replicas

[Crapdaz]

bummer man,
if they dont have any of those then you may as well import them.
goodluck in finding a set.

Vertini Hennessy's are nearly the same. They got 10 spoke instead of 8.
Close to the look you are going for.

[LD_Mart]

ok awesome well pics are always good and brand name then i can just google it...:)
Thanks

[RUP14H]

The pic you posted of the rims are the replicas and if you talk to D2 Concept a set of them in 20s without tyres will cost you $1500shipped MAX inc customs etc

[LD_Mart]

well i cant speak indo so i dont really have any chance...
i got quoted for those replicas 1500 for 20x8.5 fronts and 20x9.5 rears then gotta pay postage on top of that

[RUP14H]

Was that from the msn I gave you ? try UNIAIR cargo dude it only cost my mate $250US for shipping plus $80customs clearence in AUS. The quarentine fee is just luck sometimes you get hit with it sometimes you dont but if you do its another $80.

[LD_Mart]

its $4.10 per kilo / 60 kilos for the rims $246 + $70 to pick them up in indo + $ 30 document fees in indo

Then in aus
Custom Clearance $150 + $33 Document fees + $30 Quarentine then i have to pick them up from the air port.

So all up postage is $559 before tax and duty fees

[RUP14H]

Make him write up a dodgy recipet under $1k so no tax and duty :P

Ahh well its up to you now good luck with it ! post pics if you do end up getting them

[thewinnerz]

i can help u to get the wheels in to oz... if u are still interested... cheers
