Thoughts?

I think they would look HOT on your black ralliart!!! go for it :thumbsup:

will 9.5" wide rims fit?

will 9.5" wide rims fit?

Guess it will ultimately depend on offset but apparently they will ...

Do it akko, Will look HOT

At first I was gonna say Noooo! to white rims on a black car... but then I saw the example car :shock: and it looks HOT! :badgrin:

I think it's the polished lip/dish that makes it work.

yeah we're looking for a set of white rims for Jess's black Barina, and those are high on the list! will look schmick as!

Yeah they could look good, but why the wider rears? If anything, you want wider fronts. No point in getting wider rears on a front wheel drive

For no other reason than because deep dish looks the goods.

Without the dish i wouldn't even be considering these rims.

*waits patiently for tax refund to arrive*

lol fair enough

those look mad man, on a black ralliart it would look extremely good (and I'm not a fan of white wheels)

On a Skyline yes. Ralliart No. IMHO

any other colour but white or chrome.

whats happened to the plans for the ralliart rims in ur avatar? too $$$$?

Unfortunately yes ... see: http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/cgi2/english/sizeGuide.cgi?modelName=R01

Oh and you have to pay extra for the centre caps, which are an additional 2,000 - 3,200 yen depending on which ones you opt for.

Dont get white rims mate.

As good as they look on some cars, check out a few people around the place with white rims.

Due to brake dust, dirt, grime etc they will get stained and look pretty crap. White rims are very very high maintainance.


P.S I love white rims, but just dont have the patience to clean them everyday!

nice choice on black. the silver part breaks up the white just nicely. do it!!

Anythings easier than keeping the stock Ralliart Enkei rims clean ...

yeah they look like they have a glossy enough surface to keep stains away, and a nice simple spoke design that will only take a few rubs ;)

heres a kinda idea what it could look like for ya

heres a kinda idea what it could look like for ya

imo that looks pretty damn good even without showing off the large dish with polished lip that will be in plentiful supply on the rears. :D

yeah that mainly shows the shape of the spoke on the magna, the colours would look a lot better!

Wots the point of getting wide pak if its not RWD, i got a set of these coming over for my white TR in 18', should be here next week, didnt got for wide pak tho.

Are u also getting them from Tempetyres?

There surely can't be any arguement after seeing that, nice chop!

My mind has well and truely been made up now.

^ finally man!, get some new rims already!

Are Fords (Falcons) typically the same fitment as a 3rd Gen Magna(?) as Tempe currently has a special on these rims in Ford fitments... http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_closeup.asp?part=&part_no=668

90% sure they will fit!

Seeing as M4DDOG has XR rims on his Magna..

Give Tempe a call and see what offset they are.. That'll concrete it!

35 - 38 offset and you should be sweet as!

SuFz :rant:

be careful tho. as choonga tried to fit baino's XR6 rims on his car but they stuck out too much

looks damn nice too me.

http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/3751/untitled2chopy5tf.jpg


that is so ****ing hot.

That means it'll sit 2mm in..

Ask the guys about clearance from your strut plates.. If you can get your hands onto a BA XR6 rim chuck that on and check the clearance.. If you have ample room, than +40 is fine!

I'm pretty sure it should be fine! I have a set of 18s on the KJ and they're a +40 with no rubbing.. The KJ is lowered on SuperLow/Low Kings and KYB Shocks!

Take a look at this pic!

http://www.yokohamatire.com/images/CustomWheels_graph1.gif

It explains Positive.. Zero and Negative Offset's.. That should be all you need to understand offsets.

Hope this helps!

SuFz :rant:

I've emailed the guys at Tempe, hopefully I'll hear back from them sometime tomorrow.

Not sure on the rules for digging up your own old thread but anyway...

I finally made the decision and placed my order with Tempe for these rims this afternoon. Will post up pics as soon as they arrive!

Some pics of the same model rim on another members Ralliart in 18's:
http://img80.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture019rw6.jpg

awesome! white on black? should look great!

was trying to convice the fiance to get those on her black Barina, but she settled on these in white:

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/asylum83/barina/FT5.jpg

cant wait to see both cars now! :D

It's just not a Barina, it's just not.

Its funny how Skylines are good references for what will look good on a magna

I say go for it. I'm sick to death of silver/chrome rims, it's great to see something a little different. Another option you might wanto consider is bronze rims, they also look very nice with a black body.

I myself have bronze jap rims on my saphire blue TJ sports - oversized wrx anyone :p
The aforementioned LENSO FT-5's are an example of a nice looking simple spoked bronze rim, my favourite kind of rim :)

Funnily enough, I have vague plans to get my bronze rims repainted/power-coated to white down the track, if I feel like a change. Although the impracticality of white rims does put me off..you really have to clean them constantly or they look nasty. That's one advantage of going bronze, if anything a but of brake dust and dirt makes them look even better, as long as you aren't standing too close :thumbsup:

Tempe seem confident that the 9.5" width version won't fit on the rear of a magna. I can only assume that the offset musn't be right.

Guess i'll just have to go without the extra dish/lip and with the money saved invest in a spare...

Sorry to dig up an oldish thread but do we have any updates here?

Come on Akko - show us the goods ;) I was looking at this wheels for my car with black spokes, but unfortunately the spoke clearance is no good for my big brakes ...

The rims arrived earlier today.

Photos to follow soon...

Attempted to fit the new rims tonight and stopped before even getting the nuts tight on the first one. The offset on these 8.5" wide rims appears wrong or not as good as it could be... we measured a huge 4.5cm of clearance between the spokes and the brake caliper! :cry:

So in short there appears to be some serious room for improvement (more dish to be had) with the right offset, hence I'll be calling Tempe tomorrow to see if I can get it sorted out. Not to mention the tyres on the rims have the wrong load rating for a Magna too. :cry:

Oh how I wish I knew that these local Perth guys sold the same rims...
http://www.tech9tyres.com.au/

i was gonna say to go through tech 9 tyres but i was to late :doubt: , they deal with all them companies over east, tempe, taleb tyres etc.... i know so many people that have gone direct and ordered straight from tempe and been very dissapointed, wrong offset, wrong stud pattern list goes on, me and atleast 3 of my mates have all gone to tech for our wheels and not a problem, free fitting, gaurd rolling if needed, all new nuts and lock nuts i cant reccomend them highly enough if your after wheels such as these, top blokes and top service

oops, didnt see the link at the bottom there

I found out afterwards that they are very likely a tempe distributor. Not only that it turns out I actually may know the guy who runs Tech9 through a mate of mine. The guy's name is Scott and I believe he used to own/run Sungard tinting in Myaree and he tinted my Magna.

I'm going to see what I can arrange through Tech9/Tempe this morning and hopefully I can get this sorted!

are you saying its sitting out too much?

Nah it's sitting within the guards fine, there's just no lip/dish to the rims at all...

I notice your 18" appear to have more dish/lip than my 19", what offset did you get?

Any suggestions?

yeh pretty sure his names scott, tech9 used to be where sungaurd is, just off norma road, but i dont think he used to run it, may of though

they do have a lip...

i think its +40

but. i didnt think the offset would have anything to do with the amount of dish/lip

Are you able to take a close-up photo of your rims showing the lip and post it here?

That way I can try and use it to sort out my issue...

yep.

only if you take off your headunit surround and show me how its held onto the metal bracing.

nah, ill do it anyway. but if you could do that that would be good.

its got every thing to do with it, actually its the only thing to do with it haha

Spoke design plays a large part in how much dish you have as well.

its got every thing to do with it, actually its the only thing to do with it haha

i thought the wheel design would determine dish.

the offset is just thickness of the hub...isnt it?

off set if how far forward or how far back the spokes of whatever sit in the actual hoop of the rim, but yes spoke design can also play a part in it, - 've offset will sit further back in the rim giving more dish/lip, + 've will of course do the opposite

There was a diagram posted earlier in this thread that explains the whole offset thing.

dainese,
Aswell as the pic, could you measure the lip for me? (the lip on my rims is 2.3cm)

Are your rims 8.5" wide and did you get them from Tempe?

Come on Akko - show us the goods ;) I was looking at this wheels for my car with black spokes, but unfortunately the spoke clearance is no good for my big brakes ...

I can see why you like them in black...
http://www.tempetyres.com.au/content/news/ns_impul.jpg

Shame they're only available in 18's currently though. :P

New rims in all their glory ... not!
(scratches / wrong load rating / no dish).

that sucks man :(
cause they look like very nice rims
i take it you got them brand new to?

*EDIT* where did you get your eclipse sticker from? alberts?

Yup rims are brand new... am working on getting them exchanged for obvious reasons!

Yup Eclipse sticker came from Alberts.

nah something wrong there then.

i have more dish than that. definitely.

i have 225/40R18

ouch, i'm guessing you want the rims to look like the ones in your avatar? they look horrid without dish. Hope you get it all sorted

Yeah can see that from the pics, but am interested to know just how much dish and what offset, width etc your rims are so worst case I can order the same but in 18's ...

Assuming you bought them from Tempe, how long ago did you purchase them?

Thanks for the pics.

i bought them for myself near my birthday. so mid august

I've been told the Impul's you have must be an older version of the Rim...

ohhh.

what are you gonna do?

ohhh.

what are you gonna do?

Most likely i'll still be pushing for them to be exchanged because of the other issues with them, but i'm not to sure I believe the whole different version of the rim story. Certainly the ones on their website show that they have a lip and no where does it say it's on the 9.5" width rim only...

It's not lowered at all currently, the front splitter makes lowering a dangerous exercise...

Good luck with the rims, hopw you get them sorted out soon.

Will look sweet once they are sorted out.

Things look promising for having this saga all sorted Friday, for a preview on the solution look at my avatar. :D

9.5" fits fine on the rear?

See bad camera phone photo of trial fitting attached...

looks like the tech9 floor :P good to see you went to them, hows that hoist when they lower it back down, did it make that fu*king loud banging noise?? my mate thought they broke his car and started swearing at them lol, good to see its getting sorted, congrats

Nah, didn't use the hoist as we only test fitted the one wheel so we did it the old fashioned way.

Nice to see mate! Lookin good! 265's, nice work!!!

Can't wait to see a good pic with them on!

Cummins.

What you've all been waiting for...

Please excuse the camera phone quality pics.

Ended up with temporary 235's on the front instead of 245's ...

They look beautiful... black/silver on black rims is the hottest combo!

well done mate
has come out looking really good
good to see you got the problem sorted
might see your car driving around sometime :D

looking awesome! i'd love to see some nice hi-res photoshoot shots of this, camera phones arent the best at picking up black :D

In the words of the great Borat " Very Nice "

Thanks for all the good comments guys, now I just need to sell my old rims so that I can drop in some lowered springs.
