Rare Iron,
I live in Sydney Australia. I am currently shopping around for wheels and i am planning to purchase American Racing Torq thrust II 17x8 for the front and 17x11 for the rear. All quotes i have received so far for shipping have been between $350 - $400US (for all 4).
My boss has just offered to buy them for me as a bonus, so i will be paying a few hundred extra and getting them here (company can buy before tax and save me 40%), but i got quotes from Vintage wheels, newstalgia, and an ebay shop all between 350, 395, and 350. The ebay shop says fedex in the email so try them. Also i purchased 4 tyres from the tirerack and the shipping was $225.
Hang in there and get a few more quotes. You are correct, they are asking too much.
Where in Australia does the person live? If they are in a remote area that could be driving up the cost. Keep in mind that Australia is not very densely populated so if they are in the sticks (i think you call it out on the ranch) it will cost more.
Liam.
