Default How to get ahold of Australian Type R stuff?

So guys, how would you do something like this? I don't have any connections in Australia or anything like that. I am interested in the stock 16(?) rims that come on the PY ITR and the tail lights. Would someone be willing to trade USDM Type R wheels for a pair of Australian Type R wheels + a little cash (if needed)? Sorry if I sound like a newbie, or a complete idiot, I just think their stuff is pretty sweet and would like to get ahold of it. Any ideas guys? Thanks...

From pictures that I've seen, the R rims in Australia have 1 or 2 more spokes than the U.S. rims., I believe.

The stock rims here are 15".

I would have to be insane to trade my AusITR wheels for your USDM ones.
Sorry.
Although I am willing to sell if it will give me some of the cash I need to get Mugen MF10s.

Those rims (AusDM + Eurospec) are lighter than the USDM rims. I don't think someone is willing to trade.....

AUSM Rs are basically the same as Euro Spec, but from the pictures I think your missing this:

AUSM Rs are "Sunlight Yellow"
