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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
