Just got the quote today - $608 freight for a total of $1933 delivered to the door. However, also subject to GST and customs fees, should be no duty as they are US made, plus fitting and balancing.

After GST and fitting, will prob end up saving about 10%, and have no local warranty.

Think I will wait til they become available in Australia - hopefully early next year.
If you change your mind and do order, you'll be better off ordering in two lots to stay under 1K. They will still hit you with GST and Fedex with fees acting as a release agent for customs. I paid 408$ for GST + fees. But no duty for tires.
