    Best freight company for sending a pair of motorcycle wheels from US to Aus by air?

    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.

                Shipito are the mob that are forwarding on all the gear for the old mans 635. They were $120 cheaper than the brake supplier got quoted just to send the brake kit.

                        Front wheel will be about 200x500x500mm, 9kg, rear will be 225x500x500, 11kg. Based off of having front discs and a cushion drive, previous experience.

"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."

                          Will be without rotors or sprocket carrier/cush drive.

                            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"
