Anyone else used them?

I ordered some hub adapters off them monday morning paying by credit card, the bloke I spoke to sounded like a big of a drongo (can't rreallyy blame him, who wants to be att workk on Monday morning?). Anyways, he said theey should arrive friday and they arrived today, quality and that seems decent on them, and so thought I'd just give them a bit of a plug as they did a good job!
Even came with two sets of nuts which suprised me!

HI
if you dont mind me asking how much were they???
i assume they are for putting au wheels onto e series (right)

they look like a quality item .

i had the chance to buy some 18s a few months ago they were off au and they didnt fit the front of my eb.
if i knew these were available i could have some nice wheels on my car .

what wheels are you putting on your car????

The hub adapters were $250.00 posted which is bloody awsome considering it's 4 hub adapters, studs in them, two sets of nuts and registered courier to your door sttep!

Always heard pretty good things bout tempy except for their cheap chrome wheels have heard a few guys got cheap chromies and not soon after the chrome began flaking some were only 2-3 weeks old...but yeah u pay for what u get ...i run the same style hub adapter on my XR6 for the 19s never really had a problem.....just every i dunno 6 months or so take ya wheels off and tighten them as they can loosen....and that why in some states they are illegal/unroadworthy but they are still far safer than a spacer.

yep...i got the same hub adapters.... n yes... definatly tighthen check the adapter nuts every 3 months! I had the the nuts come loose... i thought the wheel bearings on the left hand side were stuffd!.. i baught a pair of new bearings... n pulled the 18 off... when i went to undo the adapter thats when i relised i could turn the nuts by hand and the adapter had quite a bit of free play... least i didnt have to do the bearings!!!

Yeah thats me :) Aaah Mr 14seconds ;) Was jsut thinking that the adapters would open up a wider variety of wheels other than what are currently available for eseries.
