King terra rim, 16x8, Black, $108 ea (All rims, infinity etc are about this price around town)
Wrangler MTR Kevlar $400 ea
Wrangler Duratrac $368 ea
Maxxis Bighorn 764 $349 ea
Bridgestone dueler MT $356 ea
Bridgestones are the most readily avail... they look OK havent heard much about them after searching... the bighorns are quite popular but I also like the Duratrac's
Are you getting the 4 for the price of 3 on the Goodyear’s?
I used the dura-tracs for abit, they were great on road and werent too bad off-road,

Please feel free to correct me if im wrong..I won't be embarassed ... much ...and if anyone wants the info feel free to email and I will forward the address as well as the charges chart I was sent. I am led to believe that GST is charged on the Australian charges as marked with an ast(*)
Wheels US$122 ea. 5 for US$610 AUD$578
Postage US$410 AUD$390
Then for customs clearance fees AUD$125*
Airport handling fees AUD$145*
plus $0.39/kg AUD$23.40*
Electronic docket fee AUD$25*
CMR fee (whats this?) AUD$25*
Total charges AUD$343.40*
Total charges +GST AUD$377.74
SO the total is $1345.40 for 5 wheels that cost US$122 each in the US.... or $269 each in Aus dollars.
Which basically takes them from US$122 to US$283.
So i'm off to order black sunnies which was plan A after all...
