Rims / Wheels : Online with Int. Shipping ? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Anyone know of any online stores / ebay sellers etc. who sell Rims/Wheels online with international shipping ? esp. to Australia

The US tend to have some nice variety / styles and its quite cheaper, only issue is finding one that ships.

Lots of guys on another forum get wheels/ tyres from Tirerack. Even with shipping to Aus and GST it still works out waaay cheaper than buying local. The exchange rate is excellent too. Fuck the Australian market.

ok thanks bro, will def give it a look.
Ive been researching a little more, and it seems there is a brand locally in AUS named "KOYO" that does the above rim (copy) called R1 that might be cheaper than the Axis.

But i will def have a look into it.

with standard ride height, would 19x8.5 +35 be safe ?
I believe standard the 17's are +45 and from what ive been seeing, i dont think i'd wanna go any lower than +35...
would that still work with a lil bit of lowering in the future ? (i would prefer to have the car usable and not on the extremes)

Look bro if you're just after cheapies get em from Tempe or Rota Australia etc. There was another Aus site doing BBS RS copies but I can't find the link (and I'm guessing 80's mesh isn't your thing haha).

When you start comparing the big ticket wheels like BBS or Enkei that's where the savings are as we get thoroughly bent over for them.

Oh as for offsets I have had fuck all luck getting a straight answer from anyone (for an Aus Camry). If you have a gen 6 you should be right as it seems to be the same as the US version so just see what the other guys here run. If you have a gen 5 you're on your own, as the suspension is totally different and we can't fit what the US guys run, but trying to find out what does fit seems impossible (as hardly anyone puts wheels on a Camry here).

Find a seller in the US with the wheels you got
contact them and tell them you will arrange your own shipping
contact a import agent here in australia, get a quote
if your happy, hook it up.

orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

import wheels from japan
varrstoen wheels are the only ebay seller from the US that have decent wheels for a decent price that are willing to ship to AUS. They even have a store here in australia that could hook it up for you.

ewwwww

thankies... i will have a gander...

I found out a little more about the two styles im considering...
(yes i understand that DTM and Koyo are copies and that doesn't bother me)

Axis Shine = DTM Shine = Koya Inox R1
Axis Hiro = DTM Hiro

Any other known brands that copy / replicate this style(s) ?
