Volk GTN copies!

[Munkyb0y]

that's pretty cheap.

what size?

[Jaker34]

18x7.5

i had to do a double take there for a sec, coz u can get em for 1700 from tempe, but i was tradin mine in for 1650, so i went back down there and he hadnt takin off the 400 for my standards, so now its 1250 cheap as mate

Bigger at the rear?

that sounds a bit narrow.

But congrats, that's a nice design.

[Jaker34]

nar the standards are 17x7 so its another half an inch bigger, im not to fussed about the width coz its just my daily driver

if i was runnin some big boost or Hp then maybe but im not its basically stock

Did you check the offset? Make sure the shop isn't going to use spacers without telling you, unless you don't mind if you have spacers.

[Jaker34]

yeah i checked em, 35+, hey are multi fit rims so thats cool, but yeah i checked the offset

[RedLineGTR]

will look hOrn on a r34

[Jaker34]

yeah thats what i reckon, esspecially a white one set it off nicely

[Howie]

Great deal mate! Make sure you show us pics when your baby's got new shoes.

[funkymonkey]

Do they do them any wider than Honda spec? Nice price if they come in 8.5's or wider. Where did you get em from?

[Jaker34]

i got the through the tyre factory, but they ordered em from tempe,

my tyre guy always gets me better price then anyone else

so yeah

i dont think u can get em any wider, if i could of i would of

ttf is one of the greatest tyre/wheel stores around...

those looks great mate, well done on the purchase

pics asap!

[Jaker34]

man i am having problems with these rims man

first they took 3 weeks to get em from tempe, after they were paid for in the first week.

second i finally got em in today and i opened the box with my tyre guy and they look like they are second hand, chips and scrathes all over em and look like they have had rubber on em, so now i had to send tempe photos to prove that they are faulty so they can send replacemets no idea why i throught the customer was always right?. and it wassnt just one rim, everyone, all four, ill try and get some pics up. i know im not allowed to bad mouth any stores but man.

nuffin but troubles

From personal experience, Tempe wont be happy about a return eventhough its not your fault, if you read the warranty, it basically says if the rim is used and not cleaned properly your warranty is void. And its up to them to decide if you clean the rim or not, so they basically have a "get out of jail" free card

Have you got pics?

Also, did you end up finding the other sizes they come in? Like widths?

[Jaker34]

i opened the rims from them, see i just ordered the rims without tyres, well my tyre guy did, and they were unopened and it wassnt caused by travel from syd so they were stuffed from tempe before i recieved them, , so it was their stuff up, my tyre guy waited until i got there to open them up, so it has nuffin to do with me or my tyre guy, tempe were real pricks to start with, but now they have the photos they see that they are not worthy of sale and are sendin me a new set. which is good but bit of a stuff around.

hey all

still havent recieved those rims and tempe have not even bothered lookin at the old ones to send me the new ones.

so i decided that it is a lost cause and i am sick of waiting its nearly 2 moths now, so i canceled my order and got the money back for my tyre guy. seriously never deal with tempe all they are just shit, no customer service what so ever. i know im not supposed to bad mouth companies so mods i will understand if u delete this post but i just want to warn people about it.

so anyway these are the new rim that i have decided to get, they are 18 x 8.5 and i think will look sweet as on my white 34, and ANZ are directly affiliated with tyre factory so i will definately have them in 2 days. they were second on my list of wheels and i feel now that they are a better wheel. esspecially coz they are wider. anyway let me know what you think.
