Looking at buying a set of wheels from ebay in US. They won't send them international, so looking at getting them sent to a PFer in the US then forwarded to myself in Adelaide. I don't want to be waiting ages so by air is the go. Who is the best mob to use for this? The wheels are fairly light- considerably lighter than car wheels and smaller also.

Front wheel will be about 200x500x500mm, 9kg, rear will be 225x500x500, 11kg. Based off of having front discs and a cushion drive, previous experience."Where can we get hold of a Vincent Black Shadow?" "Whats that?" "A fantastic bike," I said. "The new model is something like two thousand cubic inches, developing two hundred brake-horsepower at four thousand revolutions per minute on a magnesium frame with two styrofoam seats and a total curb weight of exactly two hundred pounds."

OK, figure 180 to 200 wide, both ends, front should be about 7kg, rear 9.5kg... of course, wheels have gotten lighter since I last weighed a set for shipping, but they'll probably hit you on "cubic weight""Where can we get hold of a Vincent Black Shadow?"
