yes finally got my mags in the post but he dick never put protective covers as he said he did. so the outer edge on 2 of em is slightly scratched!!!! oh well still look good but. the offset wasnt 27mm it was 45mm which is easily changed with spacers which im happy about

what model is your car? got any pics of your mags? if its a u12 i think the offset should be 38-40...

there is plenty of information about the offset here <- click me with all your might

Sheldon · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 24, 2004, 01:52AM »

i beleive the offset for U12 is 38mm,
spacers are illegal i think but they do the trick if the offset is greater than standard i think

KeGs · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 24, 2004, 04:05PM »

well if tempe tyres are crap im too late ive ordered and paid so im glad i finally did it

SMI7HY · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 26, 2004, 09:38PM »

i bought my mags from tempe tyres last week.....brought them home and the locknuts that were supposed to be in the bag were missing....the wheel nuts where the wrong size and wouldnt even go into the holes and they put the wrong tyres on.....other then that they were great

sik_corsair · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 26, 2004, 10:56PM »

yeah well there u go aye . . . tempe r dodgy jus like i have been told, that only jus backs it up. . . but go ahead n waste you money on em because hey admitedly the seven spoke "bertha's" they sell r fucking awesome . . . if u like dodgy service

noss · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 26, 2004, 11:01PM »

all their wheels are cheap copies, they even copy the already cheap copies. i wouldnt buy from them.

One person posted on OCAU, basically he said "Only go to Tempe Tyres if you have someone with an ethnic accent", implying if they think your aussie they'll rip you off. And looking at how many items on their site lack pricing and you'd have to ring up to inquire about, I'd believe it.

Hmm, ohwell

The OEM wheel offset is +42mm. I was going to use spacers to clear my new brakes, but smacked myself over the head and bought 17's that clear them without spacers (and a +38mm offset).

they're only cheaper because they dont sell actual brands. they sell cheap copies. the wheels that violent bought are copies of hr-125's.. personally i think the hr-125's look much nicer and they just look like they're worth the money compared to the copies from tempe.

Well the ame's i had on my trx i brought from tempe where the real deal but that was a while ago. But now they sell the cheap copies of them wich is stupid so now im buying my new mags from ozzytyres.
