Yes, thats right peeps. I ordered them today for the Lib.
The Subaru will no longer be stock. :hihi: Wheels and tyres coming next Monday-Tuesday sometime. I got them from tempetyres.com.au as a package deal The wheels are 17x7 Tracer Shadow Chrome alloys with machined outer lip. Tyres will be 215/40/17 Nangkangs all round with new nuts,caps & locknuts. Package includes fitting of tyres to wheels and balancing. Getting them delivered to my door for only $1085! Which to me is an excellent deal. I will get pics of the car when the wheels are on next week sometime. Let me know what you think.

Package looks suspiciously like Tempe Tires!!!
I bought my rims and tyre package thru them recently, same tires. They are great for an all round tire, they are quiet, they grip well, but they just lack that performance edge my Goodyear Eagle F1s had. But hey, you'd be doing well just to get the rubber for that price in the Eagles, and these tires do a very respectable job for what they are! Enjoy the new rims mate. Tim |

Grr I'm jealous. Only kidding, well done on the choice and look forward to the pics. I spent almost 4 times that much without tyres and have been kept waiting nearly 4 months for my new wheels now. :@ Keep us posted!

But in saying that, the tyres were still pumped to Tempe Spec so I think they could do with some more air to stop that little bit of sidewall flex I am feeling. Can't wait to see some pics, enjoy the wheels! Tim |

I personally beleive a nice set of wheels can make or break a car in as far as looks are concerned. You dont need $5000 rims to chuck on your Datsun 120Y if a set of $1000 rims can look better. It's all perception.

I realise it needs to be lowered but due to family reasons I cant. Unless I was to get adjustable suspension setup

That looks great.
My Mum has those Nangkang tyres in 235/45/18 on her VS, very good budget tyre IMO, atleast as good as the Falken ZE 326. Which a lot of people on here bag. |
