Thinkin' bout getting the gold mock GTC's in 18inch for my Gt-t....a cheap option compared to the real deal..anybody shipped rims to melb or anywhere else from them?

Here's the pic of 'em

:no:

Just make sure you confirm with them that they will clear R34GTT 4 pot calipers at the front as not many wheels from tempe do that due to the weak offset, width and also spoke design. And don't let them tell you that running spacers is an option because they're illegal.

My brother bought a set of wheels n tyres from them and he was in Adelaide...no dramas, smooth transaction. Just make sure they FIT, as you don't want to be sending back wheels back and forth or trying to get refunds off them when ur interstate.

Mate no praise of Tempe Tyres from me....bought a set of rims and tyres, found out there was a manufacturing problem with one of the tyres, took it back and they would help me. felt like bad wheel balance and allignment. Tyre wasnt round...

No dramas for me... they couldnt supply the rims i wanted in a reasonable time frame after i made my payment so they gave me an awesome discount on another set. rims came to perth exactly the day when they advised me they would, well packaged. i'd use them again.

i dealt with them (through tyre power in adelaide). they are USELESS. rims didn't get here on time, sent commodore offset for the front, skyline rears. pay a little more and get em from someone else. tyre power hooked me up with some locknuts and better tyres for the hassle. don't use tempe. they are SH*T.

    • Its likely to be 70% road 30% track usage, track usage will increase if anything. Decided not to fit it as I cant be arsed changing the bushes on my LCAs again 🤣 I did get the below back from GKTech though so they should work together     The anti-squat kit and roll center adjusters work independently since they change the rear lower control arm's angle in different ways. The anti-squat kit adjusts the angle from front to back, which impacts anti-squat values. Roll center adjusters change the angle side to side, mainly to correct geometry on cars that are significantly lowered. They might affect each other a tiny bit, but overall, you can think of them as separate.
    • What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction. 
    • I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return
    • I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8
    • II know what u are saying after 9 years of hibernating my stock engined  110,00km gtt I got it registered 2 weeks ago. Took it for a drive a couple of days ago and some fresh bp fuel, I just couldn’t stop grinning and dreaming of when I will start my build thread. its just such a primal man feeling many forget to enjoy I wish u so much enjoyment with your little racer mate
