thats terrible. a guy on oldschool got a set heee for 300-400 NZD IIRC.

try one of those freight forwarding places

avenga

Yeah I remember you saying that. I was a bit shocked by the shipping myself as I remember you saying it was cheaper for the guy on OS.

you know any companies who could ship it for me?

try these guys. I think you have to pay a small membership fee to use them though. I remember someone on oldschool saying they had used them before

just jammed some numbers (from the diamond wheels site) in their calculator and came to this

Paid for my Diamond Racing wheels on Saturday.

$496USD for 4 wheels including shipping to LA then using Kiwi Shipping which will be about $100 plus port costs to ship it to NZ.

It will take them about 2 weeks to make the wheels then maybe 4 weeks to ship them so I hope to see them in around 6 weeks time. Good Xmas present for myself.

The problem with modern mags is you can't get the right off set and stud pattern.

Best thing about getting my custom wheels made was I could specify everything so I got 15x8 zero offset 4x108pcd for the rear and 15x7 +12 offset 4x108pcd for the front.

$496USD for the wheels and about $100 shipping. They are steel rim NASCAR style D windows.

I am selling the old wheels and near new Goodyear GT3 tyres.

oh nice! cant wait to see it hopefully next meet up ;)

oh k nice how much?

I'm still waiting for the wheels to get here from the states. Have a read of my fiberglass, quad headlight, and brake threads under the technical section if you want to see the latest work on my Avenger.

I'm looking for $500 for the wheels and tyres. That is pretty much what I paid for the tyres and they are almost new so if I can get my money back for them then I will be happy.
