Default Can someone help me out? BBS Wheels

I want to buy 2 BBS tire inflator valve stems and 4 BBS centre caps for my BBS wheels. The wheels are BBS RS 706 and RS 707.

They are available from Tire Rack but if I order from Tire Rack I have to pay via Telegraphic Transfer and they will only send via Courier. This takes the price from $92 to around $212. To buy them in Australia the price goes to $495.

0924410 BBS RSII/RC POL LOGO 80MM # 17.00 ea
0915072 BBS RSII VALVE STEM ADAPTER 12.00 ea

Would anyone be prepared to order these for me from Tire Rack and send them to me via USPS. I am happy to pay all post and handling charges.
Alternatively does anyone have these items for sale and will post to Brisbane, Australia?

That would be great-if it is okay I would pay you via Paypal and add on the fees.

Do you need any more info other than a postal address?

Thanks Ken

If it helps, I have a mail forwarding address/service in Oregon - I've already got some little parts waiting there, am just waiting on a couple more things from Pelican before getting them all couriered down to me. If I give you the address, you could order your stuff yourself directly to my "mailbox" in Oregon. I'll consolidate your stuff with mine so the international postage won't cost anything for you.

Thanks for the advice on the forwarding service. The problem here is that Tirerack only offer payment via Telegraphic Transfer - they do not offer Paypal and will not accept overseas credit cards.
For me a TT will cost around $50 and on a $100 buy it adds 50% to the sale. Most other suppliers will accept credit cards or Paypal so that is where a forwarding service will work.

Hope in the future that I can in someway repay the help-do you need a Kangaroo, Koala or Tassie Devil sent?

Indy, Tire Rack should pay you a finders fee for shipping their stuff around the world for them!

Top bloke, helped get my BBS LM to the UK
