Yeah Im looking at importing another set of rims but the last guys I went through said it'll be 4-6 weeks and ended up taking nearly 5 months ..not to mention it cost me an arm and a srote haha ! !
Who on here has done the same with positve results >?
who did you go through with the first time?, I'd recommend zac from slidewize imports, he is a great person to deal with. Or alex dickson from garage 13, both are very good import agents for rims and don't charge you an arm and a leg. Or you could try one of the sponsors from nissan silvia, MXFLY and JDM imports are their usernames, I haven't purchased anything of these guys as yet. But mates have, and nothing but good reports from the two traders.
I bought a nardi through jdm imports, smooth transaction.
It was off jdm through nissan silvia ,
how ever in his defence there was trouble at the docks at the time .
Is that slidewize calculator they have on there website accurate (as in what else need to be inluded i.e sea fright,frieght to your door,ect)
well trouble at the docks is really out of his hands I guess, the calculator is not really that accurate I think there is a possibility of it over estimating by a large margin or underestimating. Its just best to shoot him off a email tell him what your looking for, and he would give you a price estimate of all costs.
I'm not saying its his fault or putting shit on him as he's a top bloke, more that I really don't want to wait 4-5 months !
yeah that calculator told me 660 for specific rims and a couple of other companies quoted 950 and said it couln't be done for less than $770 (thats without there cut) ..unless it was dodging legalities and taxes ? ?
Really got me confused now .
its going to be expensive. simply as that. slidewise is huge and reputable. as explained on the site, they wait till they have a container worth, then ship. cos theyre big they can fill a container quick.
no one is going to send your rims by themselves, and certaintly not cheaply.
unless you manage to fluke it and get you order just as the containers leaving.
we could get them for you, but i reckon your looking at 10 weeks

dude the last thing I think is its going to be cheap nor do I think anyone can or will do it themselves ..Im just wandering whats the story between quotes ...wether or not slidewize has included everthing ? Last time it cost me $1060 for a pair with tyres .
You work for importbitz huh ?
yeh there are alot of sponsors on ns.com that import rims.
if rims get stuck at docks, there isnt much a sponsor could do.
i work for kaizen garage, youre right though john might be able to help you too.
where are the rims? on yahoo? do you have a way of buying them or do you need help with that too?
