Help an Aussie out!

just in the process of getting a set of rims from chris @ wheels direct whos been really helpfull!

Now im after getting some tyres imported as well to Australia. I dont mind where they come from (japan, USA etc), just as long as the company (or individual) is reputable.

We pay a bit too much down here for tyres and we have really no options when it comes to rims (all the rims dealers down here scratch their heads and say ohhh we dont have anything that fits - or they do have something and its horrible or super heavy)

So hoping you guys can help.

Cheers!

Have an international shipping company ship the tires to you in Australia.
Buy some tires from Discount Tires Direct and have it shipped to the international shipper's address in the U.S who will then forward the tires to you. You have to setup an account to make this happen.

Some of the Dubai guys do that.

thanks for that! just a matter of finding a reliable/fair priced international shipment company!

can anyone suggest any? (i'm assuming fedex etc will be way overpriced).

Thanks
