Low offset rims

[HaziqRais]

Will be changing the rims today and will post how it feels after the change. Before 17" i used 15" and the change felt very heavy to accelerate but better top speed and handling. Hoping to gain back that pickup.

What size in 17"?
Your 15" is 195/50R15, right?

Now currently running 205/40/17. Will be changing to 195/50/15.
I dont remember the exact specs of the old 15" but its 195.

Even though your width drop by 10mm only the overall diameter is smaller by 3.45% and that is a lot.
Pick up should be very much better.
Depending on what tyres used, your handling should not be much off.

If old tyre are 195/55R15 then diameter is the same as the 17" ones....

Hope the pickup will improve much better. Will let you know once i changed.
Thanks alot for the info!

So changed my rims today, from 17" to 15". The result?
Looks are gone, of course. The 17" looks way way better than the 15". I have to sacrifice looks.
But i can feel the pickup better and braking is improved.

not bad.... where u got the rims n tires? and that brembo is it ori or just cover?

 

[HaziqRais]

I got them from Hup shun sunway. Nope its cover only, thought the whole setup would look better with it.
Havent installed the brembo yet.

 

[mADmAN]

hup shun sunway has achilles atr sport? how much per piece?

ur 1200 was with trade in or just straight buy?

 

[HaziqRais]

Yeap, they got for 17" too. 1200 with trade in. Old rims got some little cracks and rear tires almost botak.

 

[mADmAN]

oh with trade in ..... u know the price of the 15" atr sports at hup shun?

 

[HaziqRais]

Its rm 165 per piece. For 205/40/17 was about 240 last time i changed there.

 

[mADmAN]

damn... thats a good price!

 

[HaziqRais]

Yeah, i like achilles atr sports. Cheap and reliable.
Been using them for over 2 years. Trusted tires!
