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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
