As an update on this, I've just been in touch with customs and they've now decided, that as the total value of goods was under the $1000 mark (they've now taken the shipping costs off). No GST or duty will be chargable and my rim will be released back to Aus post to be delivered.

Don't you just love red tape....

I would't complain, you sound like one lucky MOFO to me.

Do the standard wheel nuts fit these?

Also, so customs does not take the cost of postage into account when calculating value?

Really interested as I have an order for a set of Work Equip 03 rims and have requested they ship them as two separate parcels to get them below the $1,000 AUD mark.

Unfortunately it will be at least a 2 month wait for me before I get to this stage ... ^_^

Cheers.

On the documents they sent me I had to separate the goods price and the shipping costs. I just faxed them off and followed up a couple of days later to check that the paperwork was in the system and was informed of the good news. Who knows, I've not got the last rim yet so not too excited.

It also appears there's no 225/45x15 R spec rubber in the country (end of the race season)

Had some really bizarre conversations with retailers today telling me that I don't really want that size - I do!! Spent a couple of hours calling around with no luck so don't know what I'll do at this point.

Cal, normal wheel nuts will fit by the looks of it.

I'll get back to you about the tyres.

Thanks for that.

Finally sorted some tyres

but have had to take them in a hard compound.

Will be ok for a month or so till they can get in some more suitable sprint compounds. Ok for road tyres though!
