Most tyre shops can get a hold of them but expect to pay upwards of $500/rim. Buying from US can save you alot and through certain places you can avoid the tax for items over $1000.

Yes, the guys at Bob Jane told me my price for my RPF1s from Brian Goodwin was cheaper than their wholesale price. With the dollar they way it is at the moment, I say Goodwin Racing is definitely the way to go.

If the rims are 900 AUD and delivery is 250 AUD. Do you need to pay tax as the total is over $1000 AUD?

Inspired by CoffeeBoss, purchased from Goodwin Racing for far less than the locals could offer. Still can't get even close to Phil's times.

:D And lighter wheels that must be worth 4 seconds a lap, atleast, maybe more. Tyre & rim = 16.76kg.

Guy, if they have a lunch break on Sunday I'll take you for a run and show you where to make up time.
