You'll need a lot of wet n dry, a small angle grinder, a monkey, a couple of hammers and 3-4 hours.

Sorry

Were those Performance wheels.. or the cheap immitations from Tempe Tyres...? Apparently Performance are suing Tempe for telling people that they were selling Performance wheels when they were not and the ones that they do sell are immitations from Asia somewhere and they are made from a softer metal...

I was warned against them so got some Performance wheels direct.

Give Performance a call :wink:

Try A Grade Panels here in Melbourne. We bought our last set their. Very good prices. You will have to have it posted from Performance anyway so you might as well get a quote and compare prices.

Ask for Brenton. Look at www.agradepanels.com.au for their number

I didn't want to say it, but it is funny.

Trippin be glad it was a rim and not the car or you, we are glad you are ok to drift another day.

Methinks you need some more practice. For the sake of the innocent public - try and do it off the road somewhere you can't kill anyone!!!!


Hey, I used to know everything too. :P :P :P
