I hope it's wrong, the thought of modded cars flying around my suburb with cardboard spacers frightens me... |

If anyone needs their car Photoshopped (with new rims, lowered, etc), you can shoot me a PM. I worked as a web designer for 2 1/2 years in the Philippines before moving here, and I've been using Photoshop much longer than that.
Anyway, someone posted a pic of a Lite-7 rim and I pasted them on a shot of my car: I've always had a fondness for black or gunmetal rims.

Word of warning re Tempe. The rims you see on my Avatar I bought from Tempe over the internet. Turned up nice and quick, damaged.. I contacted them and they did not want to know about it. The wheel nuts they provided looked as if they were only just on, so I checked with another tyre fitter and low and behold they were not legal. Also, I had an uncontrolable shake over about 70 kmh. It came and went, no real pattern to it. They came balanced, but I had them rebalanced and they were out. Still they shook. I had an alignment done, still no difference. So I looked at ptting new tyres to replace these new ones (20 klms old at this stage) only to find that the tyres were the wrong size for the wheels, and I could not get the right ones for under approx $400 per corner. I rang them again, still did not want to help.
Luckily they have now been replaced by the WQ Zetec rims I bought off Rob in Brisbane. I went to Bob Jane to get them to do a quick swap, and could not get the bloody things off. Had to get a diamond drill to bore out the fixing screws, one covering plate was totally destroyed to get it off, so I finished up giving them to the guy doing the job for free. Good riddance to them. The Ford ones with the Conti tyres are so much better it is a joke. No comparison. Tempe Tyres? Never again.

They seem like a dodgy, "putting 20" rims on a shoitfighting old VL heap is their forte" type of mob.

You should have gone to Consumer Affairs or your state RAA/ RACV/ NRMA service.

Yes, the tyres were Nankangs. Amazing how many cars in Perth you see with the exact same tyres. Anyway, it all got to hard after a while, and the guy who got them for free was happy...I think..
