thinking of ordering a Forte 1.6SX; but a bit apprehensive with Naza/Kia after sale service. Especially on the cost of maintenance and service quality.

Would appreciate Forte owner to share some of their experience with service centre whether it is to do with normal service or claiming warranty etc.

thanks

hiya,

About to take delivery of my forte next week. hooray

But now is strangling to decide whether shld change the stock 17" rim to 15" as soon as i get the car; or wait till the stock tyres botak

reason wanna downside are mainly
1. FC & pickup, shld be better with smaller and lighter rims
2. 15" tyres are lot cheaper than 17"

Just wonder anyone has done so? which rim did u go for? how much did u mange to get from trade in the stock rims?

thx

I use this site to survey general prices. Quite a nice, regularly updated list  biggrin.gif

http://forum.autoworld.com.my/index.php?sh...c=86484&st=1180

If just based on this list, comparing 16" (205/55) and 17" (215/45), the prices are almost identical. Drop to 15" and they really become very cheap....

But if you've driven the 17" you'll really miss the nice handling it gives. I changed to 16" and felt that the handling wasn't as good (PS3)...although the comfort level was higher. So I think handling will suffer even more with the 15" since you may need to go somewhere around 65 or 70 profile...

Thank for the info. Yeah level of comfy is something i am after as well. Those stock low profile tyre can really shatter my old bone.
