Hi guys
if this has been posted before you can delete it but a mate put me on to this website in the US and they have really good brands cheap just not micky thompsons but you have to get a courier mob to deliver hope this may help

just be wary about anything over $1000 aus as you'll get stung 10% import tax on top of it all. In most cases when I've bought from them this is still a better alternative to local resellers but with the weakening aus dollar its going to get a bit tighter.

shipito.com etc are usully good for freight forwarding out of the US.

if its like buying from china they will make it look like you only spent $50 when you spent $5,000 lol

Hi guys..I have contacted tirerack and am planning to buy new set of wheel for my GQ. A rep from Tirerack ask me to provide: not just bolt circle, but also hub diameter and extension, brake caliper clearance, offset, load capacity, pad depth, etc. Can anyone help me regarding this matter? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
