if you browse 2 pages back onwards, you can read a lot about rims since i was asking the same question too .





BTW, this is what our rim expert noblesse said..
for your information, i'm using 165/50/R15 tyres on 15'x6.5jj rims with offset 38/40. so far not hitting fender with stock suspension and 2 person on board. but i think it will hit the fender if i bring 4-5 person on board thus, as noblesse suggested, either you're using stock or aftermarket suspension(NOT adjustable), do install spring buffer to avoid hitting fender problems.

this is my rim with 165/50/R15 tyres on 15'x6.5jj rims with offset 38/40



and this is sifoo earl-ku's

10cm also a lot weii for our little viva .

i notice that, for my car, the rear tyre gap with torsion beam is LESS than 1 finger. lucky me the tyre is fixed and not moving (unless the bushing is broken, then i'm in super big trouble )

say

rims = RM800-RM900
tyres = RM168/piece
lock nut = RM60-100
center cone if the rim got gap in the center = RM100 (optional)

trade in value of old rim = RM200-300

if you've got RM1500-1600, you can have a new set of 15' wheels with 165 tyres .

for spring buffer, it will only cost abour RM30-RM70 depends on the brand. one of the forummer selling them http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1684348

if you use 6.5jj rims, i recommend you to install spring buffer. if you're using 5.5jj or 6jj rims. just keep all the suspension at the stock condition also can.

i notice my car missing quite a lot of 'A' , as you can see there's one at 'E' there, and a lot more . i went to 4 different spare part shops, all said they don't have the stock. without this thing, the hood vibrating and producing some annoying sound especially when engaging gear while pressing the brake pedal at the traffic light =,='

may i know the size of the screw at 'B'. the screw for the auxiliary water tank.

and how about the size of the screws at 'C' and 'D', the screws for the radiator.

it's hard to say bro, my elite ezi sport rim also worth RM250-280 quoted from 2 different shops that i paid a visit .

if you want to have a chance of having a better selling value, i suggest you to sell them yourself at mudah.my , VIVAC club and of course at the automotive section here too .

hope that helps

well, since you've seen the brochure i'm pretty sure you've known the price too?

i'm not sure about the material for the skirting, but since it's from perodua i think they use the same material as the car bumper which is good material rather than cheap fibre that easily can be cracked. i forgot what it's called, PU material if i'm not mistaken

so, it's up to you really, if you like it and you can pay for that price, go for it since the quality is assured. else, you can always do some scouting at the car accesories shops around or from the ads at the magazines or even the automotive garage sale section at LYN here for the 3rd part body kit for viva.

ps : i've seen the skirting brochure from perodua at my SC too. and personally i like their design, but somehow i'm satisfied with my elite bodykit for now

ya lor. the gap is very small .

spacer? i'm afraid the tyre will hit the fender later on since i'm using stock suspension, no?

ahh...i'm sorry to hear that. hurm..i don't see many viva owners use skirting from P2 tho. either they keep their elite version, or convert to elite version or go straight to daihatsu. hahaha

certainly not. well, at least for me of course . i still prefer elite body kits anytime.

those who changed to daihatsu body kit are normally big fans of JDM car

hello guys, i need some opinion about tint.

my current ride is already tintet using 'right cool' brand if i'm not mistaken. i got it for free wheni purchased the car. right now i'm thinking to add the 2nd layer onto it, using some 'not so well known brand' at automotive garage sale that cost around RM150-RM200.

is it worth it? i just want to make it darker from the outside.

well..the think is i'm rather satisfied with my current heat rejection power (not too hot in hot day), but it is not dark enough for me because people outside still can see much. i'm thinking to go for another layer just for the 'to limit the view from outside' purpose. do you think the cheap one can do the job?

i'm using stretched tyres on wide rims, i keep it at 29psi because too low i'm scared it will make the tyre walls damaged and if too high the tyres will come out. LOL!.

when i was using stock tyres with stock rims, i kept at 28psi front and 27psi at the back.

i'm travelling alone most of the time BTW .

35 won't make the tyres tercabut kah? ya lor..i'm scared the rim will scrap the road too since the tyre wall will be a bit flatten with 29psi

oh crap. that means my tyre pressure is too low then. alright! tomorrow gona make it 31 all around

whoa. very fierce looking front bumper there mate! nice!

i think the 'speaker' for my horn is broken after the accident last year. it produces such a low sound -,-. how much does it cost for the new speaker? i'm thinking to DIY this weekend

it won't costed you any money if you keep them stock (no buzzer etc2) like me

aiyah..i forgot. why don't you give your service center a call and ask about the price for 6k service? i always do that to make sure i brought enough money since i paid cash

haha. i'm lazy to scout around and finding a good outside workshop that can provide a good workmanship. so, i just went straight to my usual perodua sc in bangi. i brought my own brake pads, my own spark plugs, they allowed me. hehe.

master

share some pics sir!

hahaha. nice! i have yet to do anything on my suspension setup.


btw, 1k left to 40k scheduled service. i'm thinking to purchase irridium spark plugs and simota air filter and then bring them to my perodua SC and install them during the service

i don't know about our viva, but my gramps wira could be break easily. that kind of seller came to our house and did a demo and boy that was very impressive!

if your viva came with ABS system, then it's normal.

solution? use better rotors from aftermarket brand or use myvi rotors which i reckon will still vibrate

mine is around 140km for RM20 worth of Ron95
