No more tire rack to OZ?

Thanks guys. I'm actually after rims and not tyres. Chris at Tyrepower can look after me for tyres I'm sure.

a mate of mine just had a set sent from Tirerack for his A45 so I'm guessing your particular brand OEM may have blocked freight to Oz. Agree with Ian, shipito is excellent but not cheap.

Yup, OZ Racing. North America only.

I tried to get OZ racing wheels from tire rack too but was declined, I would be interested to know if its worth using a forwarder, I have just assumed they would be a rip off here

You might be suprised, every time I've bought wheels and tyres it's worked out pretty much equal getting them locally versus importing them myself.

Agreed, plus, I'm happy to pay a little more locally and have my items on the spot.
All of my tyre purchases have been within 5% of tire rack; just have to shop around.
