my cousin went there ,and there was a S4 there gettn rims.they wouldnt clear the big calipers so they got the angle grinder out and grinded the caliper a bit. .true story.

they are very cheap,but bounce off all of those tyre places up and down arncliffe/tempe and im sure you will get a awesome deal.

also check the rims you will buy for weight ratings are correct for your car.as ive seen a few rims sold by them without any rating.great for ur insurance co if anythng ever happens.

LOL I wouldn't go there, I find that they are dodgey. Go in there look at some rims get the rims and then come out with your guards flared, springs chopped and half of your brakes out cause they weren't able to fit.

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..

what does that mean? i think they are correct for my car, well.. on the tempe site, it has all the rims that fit my car.

tempe are good as long as you dont take your eyes off car or rims.as with any place.
load ratings are on inside of fuel cap,forget what mine are atm.must be correct to the car,

if its not and you have a "problem"they might blame the wheels...

[evorobin]

I've bought tyres from them. Brilliant deal on interstate shipping however smoke without fire etc

[benissatan]

i will go with a mate whos bought from them before he should know abit about them, hes a had a few sets of rims from them..

[gpk_gti]

listen,,im not saying they are bad,,,infact they would be the cheapest in syd,,but just be cautious,thats it.Taleb tyres down the road is also good.tell them ADAM from DETRIOT customs paint(my mate the panel beater/painter back of arncliffe) around the corner sent you.stgeorge tyres are much more shifty,take protection with you!!

[DubSteve]

I bought from St George tyres before and they were alright. But that was a few years ago to.

Those wheels look good. Never dealt with them before but I've built up a dislike for them with their abundance of chrome wheels. To be honest, upon reading the thread title, I thought you were going for chromies They have well-known wheels in that range, but none in the more "prestigious/race circuit" range (I'm thinking BBS, Enkei, Work, Schmidt etc). Just my $0.02 though.

That said, those wheels look good - did Fuzion have these on his Mk4 as well?

i bought my wheels from them. they crossed threaded all of the bolts and had to re-drill all the holes coz 1 nut broke off and the rest were cross threaded.

atleast they fixed it for me. but this was wen it was christmas time and they were all rushed and did a dodgy job.

Don't go anywhere near them - They are - There was a story on Skylines Australia a while ago about them physically assaulting someone after this person claimed they damaged his car - Surrounded him and spat on him etc.

Sounds pretty out there, but I've heard of way too many similar stories, a mate of mine got defected for having an incorrect load rating on his tyres and had HUGE dramas getting tempe to replace them - Ended up taking them to court before he got anywhere.

[gpk_gti]

people dont realise what the hell load ratings are.my cousin got a set for his audi from them that were not stamped and I made him go back and they signed his receipt that they are load rated to his car(cough bull$hit),so if anything happened they were responsible.
also take care with redrilling as ive heard they do alot of that too....
when you guys go,just keep your eyes open!!
