Widzy, mind if I ask how much you paid for the tyres and the shipping costs? Which mob did you go through?

Got them from an eBay site in the US called SDwheelcorp. They have heaps of standard sets but you can mix and match whatever you want. Was about $2500 shipped

Cheers mate just be careful with shipping company's and customs, maybe arrange for another shipping company that will inform you of all costs implied and find your own customs booking agent for when the freight gets to Aus. I got stung for customs fees and port to door delivery, other than that the tire shop has great prices

Now that sounds like a more familiar story, $2500 sounded to good to be true. Thanks for the heads-up.
