1st of all you have to be clear with your objective to change wheel. do you intend to have a physical good looking OR to be a practical ride i.e good performance and not to severe to your ride suspension as well as to save your fuel cost? if you choose to be your practical ride then i might advice you just to change your wheel with maximum rim size up to 15" only. if you interest to know more on this then pls PM me, then i'll tell you the formula with the best engineering practice.

offset rim must be japan or other imported rim, taiwan rim dont have much nice off to fit wide body car

taiwan rims as told by many sellers, its rigid & reliable, but must be prepared on the downside of it, as its imitation and how well is their QC, we are not sure, since it doesnt come with product warranty and not from an established rims manufacturer, if anything happen at high speed or the rims cracked, gave way or causing any defect to yr car....no one is accountable except yourself.

if u intend to beautify yr ride, then its yr decision, but for speed driving or rough handling, better go for ori......advan imitation is selling less than rm1k nowaday for 15-17inches.

i strongly believe good things doesnt come cheap.....sometime its life we are gambling with. juz my 2cents....no intention to flame anyone....sharing my thought.

if u have to use a Taiwan alloy rim, just make sure ur tyre is not too thin for that rim size.
find out too if they could sell the rim on 1 pc basis, just in case u need to buy just 1 pc of rim on later stage to replace a rim that turned into a keropok after hitting a hole at top speed.
to fit it to ur wide body, play around with the spacers thickness. spacers will make ur tyre come out a bit - that's the idea. get a good quality spacers/coned spacers to enhance the life of ur wheel hub bearings.

to have a pretty car, u might have to sacrifice ur fc and speed though.

hope this helps

depend on your taste.there's thousands of design out there.
choose wisely.it might improve or kill ur car look.hehehe

Ya ya...agree totally with GT...there's so many choices...and if its just for looks..get 2 sets lor.

Can change for different function..hehe. Taiwan made rims are so affordable and nice these days. for normal and careful driving they would last the life of the car anyway.

[mick87]

[frank118]

wah 14" at RM900...must be damn nice! I went to Teck Ming at Sunway, they have nice rims too and decent price..

Mick, post a picture bro...I am shopping for a 15" for my wife's MYVI SE...anyone interested in buying my OEM rims chrome 14"???..kakaka...

But Taiwan rims still a bit heavy hor? The lighter ones cost much more.
