18x7.5

i had to do a double take there for a sec, coz u can get em for 1700 from tempe, but i was tradin mine in for 1650, so i went back down there and he hadnt takin off the 400 for my standards, so now its 1250 cheap as mate

Bigger at the rear?

that sounds a bit narrow.

But congrats, that's a nice design.

From personal experience, Tempe wont be happy about a return eventhough its not your fault, if you read the warranty, it basically says if the rim is used and not cleaned properly your warranty is void. And its up to them to decide if you clean the rim or not, so they basically have a "get out of jail" free card :P

Have you got pics?

Also, did you end up finding the other sizes they come in? Like widths?

:rofl:

i opened the rims from them, see i just ordered the rims without tyres, well my tyre guy did, and they were unopened and it wassnt caused by travel from syd so they were stuffed from tempe before i recieved them, , so it was their stuff up, my tyre guy waited until i got there to open them up, so it has nuffin to do with me or my tyre guy, tempe were real pricks to start with, but now they have the photos they see that they are not worthy of sale and are sendin me a new set. which is good but bit of a stuff around.

hey all

still havent recieved those rims and tempe have not even bothered lookin at the old ones to send me the new ones.

so i decided that it is a lost cause and i am sick of waiting its nearly 2 moths now, so i canceled my order and got the money back for my tyre guy. seriously never deal with tempe all they are just shit, no customer service what so ever. i know im not supposed to bad mouth companies so mods i will understand if u delete this post but i just want to warn people about it.

so anyway these are the new rim that i have decided to get, they are 18 x 8.5 and i think will look sweet as on my white 34, and ANZ are directly affiliated with tyre factory so i will definately have them in 2 days. they were second on my list of wheels and i feel now that they are a better wheel. esspecially coz they are wider. anyway let me know what you think.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
