R33 Series Ii Rim Specs?

[harryg]

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)?

Is Tempe Tyres in Tempe any good??

Thanks in advance

yer tempes pretty good on my series II i have 16 inch mags with 225's on it but tempe should be able to work out and adjust to what size tyres u want most of there 18 inch mags are about 7.5 in width

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.

Thanks everybody. It has cleared up a few things. I have heard some shady stuff about the quality of the rims from Tempe.
