As an Aussie expat that moved to NZ I have a TFN etc. Have imported a couple of cars before direct from Japan as personal imports (yellow platers), I don't even have to return home to do...
I put a set of mazda RX8 18 X 8 rims on the accord euro wagon, suit it very well. The mazda rims have a +50 offset and the rim guards on the 225 tyres sit outside the guards slightly. But the overall...

Well I did buy the JDM Euro wagon import, they only things I don't like
1) The great JDM sat nav doesn't work in NZ
2) Some of the Sat Nav menus are in Japanese
3) The drivers auto up window seems...
