now using rp01 16x6.5, quite light wit 490kg impact tolerance..

westcoast, u want 2 make ur putra rally car ehh?? hehe.. think 60 series not suit la, 50 series should be nice for performance, lighter n cheaper..

 

[GT_AUTO]

[m@ttz]

yup, bcoz it was 6.5" i bought it, kekeke.. if not mistaken was around 5.5kg..

as i know from my mech (almost 12 year in experience in tyre shop) mostly all wheel come/manufactured in japan very light weight compare wheel came from europe/italy but all tyre came from japan mostly heavy compare from the europe/germany/france...

JAPAN: light weight rim/ heavy in tyre made
EUROPE:heavy rim/light weight in tyre

i dont know it is true or not, just for sharing...
