Bigger at the rear?

that sounds a bit narrow.

But congrats, that's a nice design.

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 :P

Have you got pics?

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

:rofl:

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.

    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.

    • I reckon you are 100% right on the money. The only reason I bought Red Sport instead of the base VR30 is that I am investigating racing it in Production Cars, and they require you to run a (mostly) standard car....therefore knowing exactly what was in the RS spec was important to me and I paid the extra. Other than that, for sure I would have pocketed the $10k and spent them on mods instead. Plus the non-RS models are more likely to have had a nicer life prior. Just a warning though, mods always cost twice as much as they look like they will on paper BTW you should also consider the 400R imports, they are about the same price as a local RS but 5+ years newer. Of course that comes with the usual warnings about finding parts, unhelpful nissan dealers and finding insurance
