FelixTRX Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) Hey all, Looking at this package (17" in silver, not chrome) for $899, but just wondering what size tyre is best for the Stagea (compared to the standard 16" tyres). http://www.tempetyres.com.au/pages.asp?ID=Concept+5 (EDIT ---- adding link helps, eh?!) I know there are tyre calcs around(somewhere!), but I also want to know if anybody else here has dealt with Tempe before, and what you thought of them. Cheers, Greg.

Duncan Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 You don't want to know what I think about Tempe's wheels.... As for their tyres, I bought a set there last weekend, Falken FK452 in 245/45/17 to suit 17x8" wheels for $200ea since we are editing lol, as long as you have same size tyres all tround you will be ok. 245/45/17 is a little large but it doesn't really matter except for speedo accuracy (and this size is more accurate than the standard ones for me) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/194700-opinions/#findComment-3489158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 lol tempe wheels. i would rather bolt 4 very large rocks to my hubs and spray them with a layer of chrome paint so that it can conveniently chip off in a year or discolour... than put tempe wheels on any performance car.

AlexCim Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 For not much more dollars, I can arrange Japanese wheel packages including Work/Kazama/Others email [email protected] (maybe .au) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/194700-opinions/#findComment-3489991 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FelixTRX Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Well, if somebody has a set of 34GTT mags they want to upgrade from, I may be convinced, as long as we can get them to Hobart fairly cheaply. And as for the chrome comment, I'm the founding member of 'Team Anti-Chrome'!! That's why I was looking at the silver set! Cheers, Greg.

AlexCim Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I have no issues with chrome at all, it all just depends on its setting. Oh, there is also cheap chrome and quality chrome. Most chrome looks shit coz the wheels themselves are shit, doesnt matter silver/black/chrome, its a bad design. For example, Work Emotions CRKai's look awesome in chrome.
