If you're going to track your car (I assume you do that's why you care about weight), don't get those cheap, shit quality wheels from tempetyres and ozytyres or someshit I can't remember. You're only looking for trouble if you do.

does anyone know why these rims broke off ? are they just cheap or were they used incorrectly ?

Cheap and the actual design of the wheel is bad - I don't think that design is a copy of a Jap wheel.

It would be interesting to see if they had the correct load rating for those cars ??? :thumbsup:

from memory, appart from the fact they are shit cheap rims :( the hubs of the wheels developed cracks, most likley due to nuts being done up too tight and as a result the spokes broke away from the hub. These are the only types of wheels I have ever seen break like this though.....Majority of the wheels Tempe and others sell are good quality wheels. There not the same standard as rays/work/enki wheels but they are a whole different ballpark really, it's like comparing a ferrari to a commodore......

Rota in the uk make copies of rims, and i've seen a few pics of Rota's broken on the track.

Whilst being rare, you do run the greater chance of something braking when it comes to these cheaper rims.

But yeah, as said, if you're not tracking the car, prob doesn't matter too much.

I've got some AVS (advan=top jap quality) rims with good tyres going if you're interested :P

    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
