fergo308 Forums Junkie Location: Eastern Sydney Registered: May 2002	Re: Tempre Tyres Mon, 27 May 2002 09:02 I may be bordering on libel with this post,but here goes. Tempe is scary. I've been there once-with a mate who wanted to buy gear from them,as they were near his place. he bought a set of wheel nuts,which needed a special tool to fit and remove them. I spoke up when the tool they supplied was way too small to do the job without rounding itself,and the nuts. (imagine using a 7mm allen key to take out 7.5 capscrews that are TIGHT) we got another tool straight away,which was ok. our service was ok,but what I saw while I was there was what scared me. no centre hub rings being used,several cars with 1/2" spacers on std studs(also with no locating rings),and so on... one job they did I have seen first hand was an S15 silvia they put 19's on. now part of this is the owner's fault as he "just had to have 19's" on his car,but the rest falls on the shop for how they were fitted: to get 19x7.5's under the guards,they fitted FF offset wheels to the front. the spokes of these fouled the callipers,so the solution? grind the spokes away,until it clears. I'm not talking a mm or two here,I'm talking a full inch of material was removed with a die grinder from the inside of the wheel spokes. thankfully the guy was defected a couple of weeks later,and has now removed the wheels. pleasing the customer is one thing,but doing things that are just downright dangerous to achieve that aim is not right. you couldn't pay me to buy from them.
