Shipping is not that much, getting parts from japan works out cheaper than buying rims locallyFlauski wrote:show me these deals, every man and his dog knows about yahoo japan now, good luck finding nice wheels for a cheap price now! That boat has long since sailed.....crustywhip, just buy rims from japan, its way easy and their are lots of good deals.
because rims in NZ seem always overpriced

Obviously they are all auctions so they still could go up in price (the last link will) but lots don't and there are lots of good wheels to be had for alot cheaper than locally.
And i just looked quickly at yahoojp, good deals come and go.
