The wheels and shipping back then came to $2792 then there was the shock of the broker custom fees (port chargers, levies, Inspection fees etc) which came to $666. I was lucky for them to accept the value as under $1000AUS otherwise I would have been hit with GST and duty taxes.

So all up total came to $3,458AUS and then with the sale of my 18's (got a guy picking them up today fingers crossed I get $2,500) i end up out of pocket $958

Oh and thats not the end of it! 2 out of the 4 wheels have a scuff on them from rubbing together, So I now got to try and put a claim through and get them repaired

Now for the lessons!! Will I ever do this excercise again NO WAY. Absolute nightmare, and as you can see very $$$ initially.
If anyone is thinking doing the same you may want to do your research and get a OFFICIAL quote from your broker so you dont get hit with hidden fees like I was!

Enough bitching.. Now for pics check my album
