And what would the postage be on 10 wheels?
I wouldn't trust my car and life on wheels with questionable structure integrity though...
I've seen cheap Chinese tools brake so easy due to bad materials and manufacturing process.

The rims that I sold were made by the same company that sold Work Emotion rims .. My rims just didn't have WORK stamped on them ... Had them on my car for about 6 months and even went to Wakefield with them... Most of the wheels are made in China and stuff coming out of there is not as bad as it used to be 20 years ago .. As for shipping, that cost includes shipping to Sydney by boat .. You just have to pay customs which was about $675 as I got my supplier to put on the invoice that they were only like $25 each ... They end up costing about $300 per set once they were in my garage

Fair enough, so you're saying they are the same wheel just no logo?
If the quality is the same then $300 a set would be a bargain.

So how much would customs be on 10 sets of wheels? Just a rough idea. As I said I'm keen on a set and if this goes ahead the wheel shop next door to my work may be keen on a fair few sets, he always loves a bargain!

You guys would be surprised how much stuff comes out of China without even realising. i used to work for a metal fabrication company and their biggest problem was products from china cos they can make them stronger, quicker and cheaper!!

Your comment here can be interpreted like a statement asking for others to join...

Obviously you never had any intention on ordering anything ...
