Welcome back Aus - haven't seen you here for ages!
I agree with Stan - more details please. Sizes of wheels/tyres? What was the breakdown of the freight cost? Delivery time?
With the dollar above parity, a lot of people are keen to see where the best deals are to be found.

One less excuse so get stuck in and get some plates on the cobra this year.
The $ is very good at the moment so spend spend spend.
The Sumi's are good road tyres but not so good on the track well at least that's what I have found.

Thanks guys, my mojo is back!!
Here are the details
They're from Vintage Wheel Works
Rears - 17x11's with 6" backspace
Fronts - 17x8's with 4.5" backspace
Cost $1500 Freight $950 Import tax etc $350
Total to door about $2800
From order to delivered was within 2 weeks. Even over Christmas!!
They were out of the spinners so I'm yet to get those. I expect another $350 delivered for those.
Tyres I bought a while back - Sumitomo 315's and 245's.

Merv recently sold his VWW wheels with both the standard centre caps and the spinners. You might be able to save a few bucks if the new buyer (not sure who) doesn't want to use the spinners...

Yes Craig, but I think the spinners were to be used. I had same tyres as well.

Hey Aus, the wheels look great!
Can I assume correctly they are to fit the Jag hubs?
I can't quite make out if they are 5 lug from the shots.
Did you get the nut covers as part of the solution? Not sure if they are part of the spinners or another part.

Yep, fit jag hubs just like you have.
I think i got the backspacing right as well.
Certainly put a smile on my face getting them on today

They certainly look good fitted!
I was going to talk to Rob about backspacing etc... Looks about right...
