Hi Chris,

I have done it a few times now, a few sets of 10x6 Mambas i used Seven Seas sea freight, best price by a long shot and only took around 2 weeks.

but unless the wheels are cheep and are not able to be purchased here in the land of OZ i wouldt bother as it costs around 250 to land

good luck mate

Two weeks!

I don't reckon they sailed many of the seven seas to get here that quick, but all the better for the importer!

yeah the wheels I want arent available anywhere but Minispeed, so I would have to get them from over there.

$250 is ridiculously cheap! Can i specifically ask Minispares to go thrrough them?

Just check , they may have an arrangement with other freight companies and will only ship with them . If that's the case , get them sent to someone in the UK and then sent to the shipping company from there . Not sure how you'd go getting the VAT back that way though .

Thanks all, I think I will give minispeed a call to see what the GO is.

Thanks for those wheels Ian, but I have my heart set on these other ones :)
