Reply With QuoteWhat car? Size you are after?
I've purchased wheels from overseas and they came well under the $1000 mark. Even though freight is a little expensive it's still cheaper than buying local

Hi guys. So I'm in for a new set of wheels. I've spent much time online looking at exactly what i want but haven't really had much experience with purchasing large items from overseas. Postage is ridiculous and i've read if its a product above $1000, import tax fees and what not comes into action.
Any recommendations on wheel shops in Melbourne/Australia if the online choice is not ideal?
Any help would be appreciated.
Ben.

freight and insurance costs are not counted towards the $1000 duty free import limit. You got to make sure though that shipping costs are separately mentioned on the invoice.

Ok thanks guys. Yeah looking at a set of 17"s . Ride is a 02 Astra G Hatch.
I'm tossing up between these two:

if it was my car and I could only pick out of these 2, I would have gone for the Fox wheels

Fox wheels would be my pick love them
Thanks for the replies guys. I've contacted a handful of places around Australia, so far haven't been able to find someone who stocks the FX004. I have found a similar design, the Fox X-Tuning which some places have, but i will keep trying for the other design.
X-Tuning.

i'm in the process of buying an Arden Blue Corsa OPC and the Fox FX004 is what i had in mind for it. not sure if to do silver or white though? was thinking white with orange calipers bit like the Gulf racing colours
