any nice 17' rim recommend

[davidgm16]

Hi all taiko/sifu, i've a plan to downgrade my rim to 17" and stick back to the stock size of tyres, any nice rim that can recommend? the SSR type-c nice? do anyone knows how much the price is?

 

[wfhan]

dude, yours already SSR Type-C (18"), and it is 1 of the highly rated rim due to it's build and lightweight.

 

[davidgm16]

my both rear tyres inner part start botak liao.. so just plan to downgrade it la...

Change new tyre ma if your old one botak already :)

Really a waste to let go your rims, really nice looking rims :)

I have a 17" rim in mind, which is the Advan RZ, but I think its 18" looks nicer :)

My 2 cents

 

[davidgm16]

hmm.. i know my rim is looks nice

but i was thinking in terms of budget and performance, 18" is abit jialat for the car to carry up, somemore is a 5AT, and think you guys knows that, a piece of 17" tyres and 18" can have the difference of RM100~200.

So, i'm thinking to replace my current one with a cool rim as well. but just from 18" -> 17". hmm, should i take back the SSR type-C but 17" one? or any other suggestion?

I agree with Louis..go for the new Advan RZ rims..looks cool. And I agree with u david that 17" tyres are cheaper and more maintenance friendly.

David, I think if you want to change rim, might was well change other design than your current one. Since you are changing anyway, might as well get a new look

But of course, if you like the look of your car+rims now (SSR Type C - which I love it also) just get the 17" SSR Type-C back :)

Understand that the tire price difference between 17" and 18", pickup maybe a bit slower but your handling and gripping wise is better ;)

Regarding the rim Advan RZ I mentioned earlier. Check out this link to view it:

Think it would suits your car, since your front brake got the huge Brembo caliper

Lets see what other members would suggest, because there are always a lot of nice rims out there

David have GReddy brakes in front...

David have GReddy brakes in front...

Ei, GReddy brakes ka? I thought is a Brembo? Maybe I see wrong the other day :) kekeke

 

[davidgm16]

hmm... i've gone thru abit on the yokohama advan series of rims... the RS and RG design are quite cool. Do you guys recommend where to get these rims from?

 

[shawn55]

david,
i remember someone posted a link of a virtual rim fitting website which we can select a car and rim to fit virtually for us to see if the overall car + rim looks is per our liking or not.
try search for that, it's in altezza forum one. Then at least u get the 'look and feel' b4 making a decision.. :)
happy rim hunting!
