imitation rims - are they really not reliable at all?

[Izso]

Once i had the privilege of sitting in a Wira with 17" with stock suspension. The tyre was 35 or 30 profile. Just after 5 mins I felt wanting to vomit my yesterday dinner.

You're easily affected by motion sickness eh? You'd probably vomit in less than 2 mins in my car then.

45series is acceptable la, i'm on 45 series too.

Depends on the width of the tires. I'm also still very comfy with 45 but I'm using 245 width. If 215/45 or 205/45, I would not use already.

I'm old uncle already la, cannot take much bumps anymore! Long time ago for several yrs I used 195/50 which is about the same sidewall with 215/45, had enough already la. Now this fragile body & bones need more cushion!

Unless if I won the lottery and can buy those supercars.
