Have bought from their web site in the past and know others who have too, generally all good but expect exorbitant freight prices these days (they used to be cheap)

Always getting stuff from them or Jegs, only problem is you have to make sure what your after is shipping today (code at base of item) or you can wait weeks sometimes.

If its performance stuff they are fairly good
But for stock stuff (like for my Caddy etc)
I use Rock autos... cheaper and faster and no extra handling fees for out of country
Take as an example... K5108 balljoint for Torana/Camaro (upper)
Summit... $29.95
Rock ... $20.79

Actually I was just talking to another guy today who tried buying from Summit and apparently they won't ship here any more! (same with Jegs!)

I bought my shrinker/stretcher and bead roller from Summit and there wasn't a drama to be seen. Very happy.

thanx everyone, they sound o.k to me then, freight for 4 rims was just over $400 fully insured,
but the rims are less than half price to my aussie quote so i.am still saving money really.
all up the total price is a little bit more than $1400 for the lot to my door, it just sounded to good to be true
thats why i thought i ask fellow members before i got burnt. thanx again colin.

Just remember over $1000 you have to pay import duty as well.

G'day, I just spoke to the missus and she informs me that I got the numbers wrong, The cost of the wheels are $195.95ea for the fronts and $205.95ea for the rears, therefor I might be lucky with customs as the wheels will only cost me about $800, and $457 for freight (priority 3-7 days). I will let you know how I go, thanx for all the info.
