thanks all.
I'm looking at advanti rims because most aftermarket lightweight rims do not have pcd 4 x 114.3 which renders limited choices.
have you all heard from Kean Lee Hin store at jalan ipoh, which is one of the authorized supplier for Advanti rims?

Will the gap between the fender and the tyre look weird with aftermarket lightweight rims?
Take ur time if u really interested with aftermarket.
But not much fancy choices for 4x114.
Took me 3 mth to search for right ssr type-c 4x114.

Hmm I think that should not matter much if at all as long as the rolling diameter is about the same. Weight on the other hand plays a significant role.
that's my point la. rolling diameter is 5% different.. haiyo.. ok let's just drop this chain of thought already

Bro, you're wrong, wheels diameter is different but rolling diameter in that video 2 is NOT 5% different! As I said earlier, the 18 is actually 1% bigger rolling diameter yet generates more whp.

In video 3, one of the lighter rim is also exactly same diameter and tire size so again exactly same rolling diameter.

Ori or not...susah to differentiate just by look.
Like mine ssr type c.
Rim weight is 3.85kg , not too unbelievable cheap.
And trust between buyer and seller.

That's insanely light for a 15". Good stuff bro
The spec on paper for 15' is not that light. It's around 9.3-9.7lbs or 4.2-4.4kg. Still very light nonetheless. The 15' which is under 4kg as far as I know is only Racing Hart CP035 at about 3.9kg.

Hi,

Just want to check whether has anyone been caught by hidden speed trap and challenge the summon in court?

Was caught twice in Johor bahru; once in oct 2012 traveling 90km/h at Danga Bay area (60km/h speed limit) which I paid and again recently in jan 2014 traveling 92km/h at kulai area (70km/h speed limit). Both time by hidden camera without any warnings.

I thought that the Deputy IGP in 2011 has declared that police will stop ambushing motorists. Will the court entertain our...
