Hey guys

I have a set of rims that I'd like shipped from the West Coast of the US to Melbourne, Australia.

Have a quote for around $700 with USPS, but that seems a bit high.

anyone have any other suggestions?

Happy to examine sea freight as it's not urgent.

cheers

i work in imports mate. belive me road freight in the us to the port is crippling. 700 bucks is decent.

but contact sea freight. unless you have an account most of the big guys (dhl ets, fedex) etc wont touch ya.

just did a quick quote mate, if your importing 19 x 10 and they are stacked with no tires weighing no more than 5 kgs a wheel it would cost me 615 dollars to import them using dhl ets. plus tax and customs clearance if over a grand.

no worries mate at19 x 10 they where 40 something kgs volumetricaly. so they would charge by size not weight.

have a look at sea freight.

i dont know if they will help you but i use/used

ADM and global freight.

I looked into this a few months back. Cheapest I found for a set of 19x10 volks was about $480 (can't remember who it was from though, sorry!!) That was for sea freight but it sure beats some of the other quotes i was given (up to $1200!!)

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!

      Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure

      A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins

      Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
