i had my 19s puchased and installed there, the best thing to do is buy there wheels, theyre cheap but then get the hell out of there.

i had major problems their theyre a the rudest pricks. i nearly brawled and all!

[crazyfiggi]

one of my mates went there. fitted straight on it was on a mk4. he hasnt had any problems in with them. was he lucky then?
where else is good to go? there is a place in the back of brookvale, i think its pretty simular to tempe but i dont know..

The shop in brookvale is goodspanner, i have bought my last two sets of tyres from there and have been very happy with the price and service.

DONT go to tempe! They are so rough there. A mate of mine bought a set of chrome 20s from there for his commodore. They charged him $80 for guard rolling and just bashed his guard lip flat with a rubber mallet, totally cracking the paint along the edge.

I haven't read replies so may have already been mentioned

A mate of mine got some wheels from Tempe. After about 3 months having the wheels he pranged his car (wrote it off) and because he did not check with his insurance about the wheels - and tires - the insurance company voided his car because: quote (from my mate) "the tires were unsuitable for the wheels"

so i guess if you still wanted to buy from Tempe CHECK with your insurance company

Half of the cars on this forum have illegal tyres anyway.

Well i hope they don't end up in the same situation as my friend!!!!

Just a friendly warning

ive found a set in good spanner 1900 bucks for a set of 19s soo hot. now all i have to do is get the car down there he he! sucks when your only on your learners.. and your mum wont take you down there because she thinks its a waste of money hhe he ohwell i will have to beg and beg haha anyone want to come with me who lives around northen beaches ha ha

[peedman]

I would gladly if i lived near u or i didnt have exams

Got a pic of what they look like? Going on that A4???

[benissatan]

yeah to go on the a4.. the shop doesnt have a site.. and i cant remember what the make of them were. as i only saw them through a glass cabinet!

[finemk1]

i think there all right, but mind you some of them had never seen a set of coil overs befor and didnt know what to do cuz the tyres were hitting the adjusters on the coil over, i saw one of them eye the angle grinder hahahah but got in befor they did anything, like some dudes said just dont leave your car, have a say in everything and if the wheels wont fit on your car, dont bloddy get them, they shift so many wheels per day they dont care what they have to do, and remember there not qualified, there tyre fitters!!!! any body can fit tyres

[benissatan]

i eventually got my new rims! 19inch advanti rims.

OK so after reading all these posts about Tempe tyres you guys have scared me haha

I am thinking about getting a set of these...

But im wondering, if i do...maybe I should just pick them up with tyres fitted and go elsewhere (someone I trust ) to get them fitted and balanced. What do you guys reckon?

Ive heard both bad and good things about them...so i dunno?

[evorobin]

Better still buy the wheels and get decent tyres/balance elsewhere!

Yeah was thinking that, just not sure how much they would knock off the price just for the wheels, worth asking though! What would be a decent tyre (Not too exe, am sick of paying $450 a corner for Contis) you reckon?
