Help with shipping rims from Syd to Adel

  Top of Page

Hi guys, I've been keeping an eye out for a set of rims that I want and have now spotted a set that I want in Sydney for a really good price.

My only problem is that I can't get Aus Post to ship a set of rims as they are too large. Can anyone here help get a set of rims from Sydney to Adelaide in the next week? I'll make it worth your while in the form of alcoholic inducements.

If not can you let me know a shipping company that will get them.

Darryl, I reckon TOLL or finemores will do it. The hard part is getting the items down to the freight company so that they can package them.

Check the phone book and give them a call.

Try these guys http://www.vicfast.com.au/index.asp

I've never personally used them before, but I've heard that they are quite good and their prices are reasonably competitive??

If you get genuine quotes from anywhere, do you rekon you'd be able to please post them up here for us??

It's just that everyone has their own idea of what it costs, ranging from under $100-$400+ to send rims, so it would be great if we can get an idea of what the different mobs out there charge!

Good luck with it all!

Cheers,

Jonno

Thanks Billsy,
the guy I was trying to get thme off ended up selling the tyres of seperately to the rims at the last second.  What a s**tter.  Do you know where I can get a set of tyres really cheaply for 17s @ 70% left, like $400 all up and I'll still get them, other wise I'll let them go and get the next set that pops up.

BTW what's the deal with RSLiberty at the mo, the site is down.

Cheers
Darryl

i dunno about 2nd hand tyres, try used tyre mart, they sometimes have some good deals there.

ive got 2 215/40/17 Eagle F1 GS-D3 spare, about 50% tread left i think. if you can find a match ill sell them cheap.

you can also buy crappy nankang type tyres for just over $100 a tyre in 17's
