Hello guys.
I going to change my rims this year end.
But i would like to know. the average price for 215/45/R17 tyres?
and taiwan rims that heavy? Im planning to put 17inch for my waja.
thanks.
17" with profile 45 wheels sure looks nice on waja but the drawback will be the decreased acceleration, increased fc(if we care much) and even weaker brake system. getting a lighter set of wheels might help
but the larger diameter and tyre width(contact) will caused the engine and brake to work harder and slower speedometer reading. not to mentioned the needs for suitable and reliable absorber set.
16" seems to be the better option. even if less choice of tyre available, they still cost cheaper than the equivalent 17" while provide a quite accurate speedometer reading and better compromise on brake and engine power.
just my 2c

hoho.. really nais this item.. like in before my fren offer me.. sure rugi dont take that time coz all 4 juz 600++.. but out of budget now.. coz on some project rite now.. but sure interested in those.. btw i assume FTO braking is better than waja rite?
fto brake was of twinpot front and single pot rear which is still much better than waja(single pot all round) coz' it was mean to stop the 2.0 v6 with 180bhp stock.
definitely a good upgrade!
