i do like those, but agreed without the chrome lip..

how about these.. coloured black of course in a 19"?

there on sale at tempe for $1499 brand new with tyres (probably nankangs or something of the same "quality") but id replace the tyres soon enough.

they'd need to be a 5 stud pattern for a start. Look quite nice in gold IMO

[Mano™]

get them in gold then tony an old mate mason can get in black! myt get it cheaper

[541NTT]

hahaha yeah they are a 5 stud just the pic i have, and i would be buying them gold but may change them black.. just a thought, there only a 7.5 inch wide rim.

just be careful with tempe tyres... i'm not saying they don't do lots of great stuff for lots of budget-minded people but i got tyres from them once just after having an alignment at pedders in canal rd (the big right, on the way back to newtown)and as soon as i drove out of the shop i was like "HOLY frick, what just happened to my car?" drove straight back to pedders and they said "how the hell did they do that just replacing tyres?!?!" can't remember the specifics but they managed to move heaps of shit that had just been put into the right spot..

good move.....i brought a wheel package from tt and found out that the rims where out of round and the tyre where a set of copy goodyear eagles as there was no nountry of manufacture markings on them. i could not get them balanced at all

when you say rims out of round? as in the rims were warped or something?

jeeze that sucks, last thing you want when you buy a new set of rims.. dodge cheap tyres are something that could happen but you would want to know the structual integrety of the wheels are sound.

Honestly, like most things in life, you get what you pay for. Which ever way you go, make sure they won't scrub & have the correct weight rating for the car etc.

I've bought rims from Tempe before & I have a number of friends who have as well & all have been very happy... BUT, make sure you check out all the details on the rims. My engineer has told me that Tempe have been known to sell rims that aren't VIA approved & don't have the correct weight rating for cars... & Obviously some of our members have had their fair share of issues (Shano ).
