Hi,

You've probably guessed by now what this is about. I would like to know what are the specs of the Rims cause I only have stock Rims and I wanna change them to 18".

Any suggestions on where to buy (in SYDNEY)? :rofl:

Is Tempe Tyres in Tempe any good??

Thanks in advance :blink:

Stock Series 2 rims are 16x7 with offset +30 all round.

Personally, I wouldn't goto Tempe Tyres because

a ) I've heard their work is below par

b ) The wheels they sell are not as good as Japanese made wheels.

I'd invest in some Japanese made rims from known wheel manufacturers such as Rays, Work etc.

Finally, note that if you get Tempe Tyre 18" wheels, they are incredibly heavy and you will definitely feel this extra weight when driving your car (eg it'll be slower at slow speeds). 18" wheels will also cause your ride comfort to deteriorate slightly.

haha, Wink, there is a fair difference in price between tempe rims and jap rims. Ie, cheap ass, good for street rims from tempe in 18's will cost you $2k ish with rubber but some nice forged jap rims withOUT rubber will cost you $1200ish per corner... but, you do get what you pay for.

I had 18x9.5's and 18x8's on my Gtst when I had it (265/35/18 & 245/40/18).

Hope that helps.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.

      Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.
