need help from our sifu here about rims...

[zeromitos]

hello to all ZTH sifu out there...
im a newbie in this car modding world, but looks like car modding can be my new hobby beside playing futsal. HAHA...
ok enough said, i would like to gain more knowledge on changing my standard rims for sport rims...
well, im using a proton wira 1.5(M) - my wife this one, just bought it october last year...
ok, the first thing i want to know is which size of sport rim is better, 15" or 16"...
well both rims should have their pros & cons, 17" is too big for me(and its way too expensive)...
i need to know the pros & cons of these size of rims before buying them (if possible before this coming raya, if not end of this year la)...
and the other thing i want to know about these sport rims are the "PCD" thing that ppl always mentioned in the forum...
what is this PCD thing...??
and whats the PCD for wira (or any PCD that can fit into proton wira)...???
so far i have done a few light modification on my car...
i have installed Greddy FATT, Apex'i Dual Funnel Air Cleaner, and sport steering, which all the item are bought from our ZTH member...
i also have bought the 06' ZTH sticker...
thank you in advance for any sifu who have helped me on this topic...
millions of thanks for your opinion...

brader, the question u asked has been discussed and answered quite many times in this forum. I guess that is why no one is willing to help out. Best way for this is do a SEARCH in this forum. I'm sure you will be overwhelmed with the answers to your question. Good searching.

go for 16" rims lo... nice looking as well... 1.5L should have enough juice to move around in it....

PCD: pitch circle diameter... wira PCD is 100.... so, only rims with PCD100 can fit ur car....

btw, Greddy FATT??.... apa tu??...

15" would be the better choice in my opinion. 15" is lighter, cheaper ( in term of both rim and tyres), somemore 15" on proton, civic like car are very well balance, especially those witt standard power.

go for some 15" and stick some 195/50 on it, this should improve the road holding and handling.

Skywalker : Greddy Fatt is a Turbo timer ( FATT = Full Automatic Turbo Timer )

yeah...go for 15", more lighter,cheap and the tyre is also more cheaper than 16"....but choose branded one....like OZ,Sparco,Enkei,Volk etc...
