I'm sort of in the process of getting some pricing for TE37's for the Z. The pricing is from the OZ volk distributer. Now I have no pricing and don't know if the pricing will be any better than getting it in yourself. All I'm asking is if Z owners are interested then let me know so that we all can benefit at a possible lower price.

What I am getting pricing on is

TE37
CE28
Racing Hart C4

All 19x9.5 and 19x8.5

I'm interested however am also looking at the GT-7's.

I'm interested in CE28 and RH C4, let me know the pricing. I'm looking about directly importing from japan since the prices there are rediculusly low. Also if you can get me pricing on SSR Type-C (Competition).

Here are the prices from japan, it doesn't include shipping or any other fees, but it's something to start with:

RH C4, 18x9JJ - $430, 18x10JJ - $450
TE37, 18x8.5JJ - $610, 18x9.5JJ - $630
CE28, 18x8.5JJ - $565, 18x9.5JJ - $575
Enkei RPF1, 18x8.5JJ - $310, 18x9.5JJ - $325
SSR Type-C, 18x9.5JJ - $500, 18x10.5JJ $515

Right now I'm trying to find out what would be the shipping costs etc...

EDIT: Added SSR

nuff - Are they AUD or USD pricing ?

nuff - For shipping try UPS but call the OZ office as the www does not give you all options.

Jagz - If pricing looks good I will ask about the GT-7's also for you.

nuff

they are AUD prices and the wheels would come from japan. There is no need for them to go to USA and then come back to australia. If some one wants prices for 19" wheels I can give you the price in Yen.

nuff

Also, I'm trying to find out if i can get them already mounted with tires and balanced before they get shipped.

I'm not sure how it will effect the shipping costs. The tires that can be chosen are Dunlops, Bridgestones, Michelins, Goodyears and few other ones.

I still haven't received a price so that is why I have not posted a response.

Did anyone manage to get a price from Stamford Tyres out of curiosity as I have not e-mailed them.

nuff

I got the pricing for shipping from japan, for 4 x 10kg wheels by EMS (air) it would be around $880-900. By ship/land it would be around $600. It doesn't include any bank fees and the exchange rate I've used is 75Yen to AU$1.

Also the prices would drop or increase depending on the weight of the wheels and the guy is still try to contact the frigen company since they are not responding.

Don't forget customs they'll want your blood, it's 15% duty on the value of the wheels (calulated on the exchange rate at the time of purchase) plus shipping then take 10% of that total for GST, for example :-

US exchange rate 0.70

US$1000 = AUS$1428.60

15% 0f $1458.60 = $ 218.79 total $1677.40

Shipping say US$350.00 = AUS$500.00

so $1677.40 + $500 = $2177.40

GST on $2177.40 = $217.74

Total cost $2395.14

Total Custom Duty = $436.53

PS If you ship the wheels separately to get them under the limit of $450 ( duty free) they count any shipments from the same shipping address to the same receiving address around the same time as one consignment, bastards.

ZZZ-35, well, I'm sure the person who is sending the wheel to australia as less then what they really are Lets hypothesise for a while that each wheel is marked as AU$100, now you would only have to pay around $120 in GST and duty.

Not trying to put you off but last Friday I had to go to customs to pickup two of my wheels and paid duty on them ( I was unlucky the first two got through ok), I had to prove to them how much they cost ie receipt from supplier, now if I did'nt have prove they would have just looked up the price of the wheels on the internet. While I was there some poor bastard was getting the third degree about some golf clubs and they were saying "but the price here on the internet is double the price that your claiming they are". Just make sure the wheels are sent separately one week apart and to another address if possible, that way the chance are you will get them through duty free. By the way I paid $190 duty and GST on a set of 18" LM-GT4's, I should have shipped the second two to another address, we live and learn.

Got the pricing back and doesn't look good.

TE37 - AU$1125/1150
CE28 - AU$1040/1070

Prices are F/R per wheel no tyre.

So any recomendations on where to buy from ?

nuff

MR RIZK, the prices that I got from japan look about half the price of yours. The only problem I'm having is that my contact in japan is moving and I just have to wait. I also tried to contact the company by myself, but I didn't get a response.

By the way, does that include shipping?

EDIT: by the way, if any one succeeds contacting this people let me know http://www.hirano-tire.co.jp/

These were prices from Payless in Chatswood. I have known the guy for quite awhile so was hoping for better prices than these.

I once got quoted for AU$4100 for the RH C4 landed in my hand throught a shop in OZ. I should of bought them then.

I have one more option to if that goes well I will update u guys

nuff

I've just recived email from the export division from Hirano Tire and the prices would be a lot more then the ones I've quoted above. Simply because they add 15% Handling charge. If any one wants the spreadsheet with the cost breakdown I've recived just PM me. Also they would offer discount for group buy.

To give you guys idea, the cost for CE28N including shipping and all charges (no duty or GST) would be 236,647 yen or roughly AU$3156.

So it's better to get the wheels from my contact then directly from the company itself, he's about AU$300 cheaper. Also the prices for shipping would need to be adjusted above, because the packages are 11kg per wheel not 10kg.

Thanks for the update nuff.

If I could get the wheels landed at that price I would be interested but any more and would be out of my budget.

Just got pricing from stamford for the TE37 and they were

TE37 19x 8.5 +22 A$1190 each inc GST
TE37 19x 9.5 +22 A$1220 each inc GST

I have asked about the CE28 for you so when I know I will update.

In the mean time if you can send me the spreadsheet it would be appreciated.
