[Mocha73]

Hi guys, thanks lots for the feedback.....

Noticed some of you have different sizes for front and back....why is that? Is it recommended for performance? Comfort? Looks?

Cheers!

Mocha,
im using abit smaller wheels in the front to get more power and torque from the engine.Light tyres = Lighter work for engine :) but maybe some other member have opinions on this

actually is light Rims = lighter work for engine
hehe,no offense~spitfire fast fast do bodykit ya~cheers

 

[SpitFire16]

yup,ur rite eric..lighter rim = lighter engine work :) about the bodykit..hehe..still waiting for some $$$ to do widebodykit :)

 

[Daniel Lee]

How do you measure whether a rim is light or heavy?

 

[TCSIM]

Daniel,
Use a weight scale..

 

[ericmivec]

no nid measure like tat,just common sense that 15" sure lighter than 17"..haha..

 

[TCSIM]

Eric,
Not 100% true la.. light-weighted 17" rims might be lighter than besi buruk 15" rims.. Must depends on the materials to build the rims.. Taiwanese rims are light and economic, but not tough.. Japanese rims can be quite light and yet very tough, but that will cost a bomb..

 

[tth tyre]

House of Tyre 13-18inch...

 

[Daniel Lee]

Daniel,
Use a weight scale..

Huh?
It's practical but won't be convenient.
Will you bring along a weighting scale with you while shopping for rims?:hmmmm:

 

[TCSIM]

Mr. Bean did that!!!! Use your hand and carry a few different rims.. Then you will roughly know the comparison lo.. Changing rims soon?

 

[K_Takuya]

guys, can list down the current price for 15" tyres?

 

[Daniel Lee]

Mr. Bean did that!!!! Use your hand and carry a few different rims.. Then you will roughly know the comparison lo.. Changing rims soon?

Yupe, planning to but not really very soon because I just use up lots of $ on a major service for my car.
Doing survey now.
Any recommendation on rim shops?

 

[TCSIM]

Daniel,
What's your budget? Looking for local, taiwanese or japanese rims? They range from RM 300+ to RM 10k+
