Hello everyone,
anyone had experience buying wheels from the UK and having them posted over. I have checked a few sites and you can get a pair of DT 1450's for around $780 AUD and postage is free ( saving od around $1000. The only downside is query the warranty issue, doubtful whether the Australian importer would honour it, but is it a reak issue with this wheel set ( I weigh 78kg). Is the limit $1000 to come through customs without paying duty ?Any thoughts would be appreciated

cheers

Peter

Go for it. Keep it under AUD1000 and you'll be sweet.

G'day
