I havent yet...meant to be tomorrow going by ups website.
If they put on the dollars i asked i shouldnt get charged gst as under 400nzd
and didnt think you paid duty?..my spoiler/sideskirt set went straight thru and it was $800NZD so hoping mags be the same.

looks like what i saw on ups site was pre clearance stuff before the actual shipment arrives so has only left yesterday so now updated delivery to 21-11.UPS is confusing.

Did you include shipping in your calculations? They charge on sum of item + shipping. UPS is waaaay better than USPS though

yeah i told lsd to put down 290usd total including shipping.
looks like ups have finally picked it up in the states..now saying 21st as delivery day.

Auckland, New Zealand 22/11/2012 12:42 Shipment is held due to unrealist value/weight ratio, UPS will verify value with receiver before customs clearance / Released by clearing agency Now in-transit for delivery

yay as finally cleared..should see monday now

Looks good..i nearly brought a set of those wolf wheels but wanted more of a lip and less spokes...added my pics to my garage as doesnt seem to down load here.

Looks good. How about a foto side on that captures the whole car? Cheers Stevo

Am really taken with the wolf's..they are very light and at 15p off-set gives me the wide look but stays at 15 x 7 for cert purposes & comes with hub-rings.
And funnily my steering feels lighter with the wider stance..i was expecting it to get a little heavier?

I got a wolf down to look at and nearly did the deed but got the konigs instead...i know what you mean about light as the 15s are so much lighter than the 17s they replaced..a welcome relief as i had the wheels off so many times getting the ride height perfect.

At least i dont have tyre whine from the 888's so much quieter with the Nitto's...remains to be seen how they perform.[my road tyres only].

Are you running NT01's or NT05's?

Nitto neo gens...[assymetrical tyres]

The Neo Gen® is an all-season ultra-high performance radial specifically engineered for lowered vehicles. Because the inner shoulder is one continuous block, the tread maintains stability on lowered vehicles with higher degrees of negative camber. This stability reduces tread flex and allows the tire to wear more evenly. The result is a tire with prolonged performance* on lowered vehicles.
