After much thought I think I'm gonna get the AEZ Tidore rims (18") looks like this http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/aez-...ture290725.html or anyone have better suggestions? I saw Caractere, Motegi, BBS but so many choices also pening. For tyres I can't decide, Michelin PS3, the new Conti CSC5 (not the 5P) or GY F1 Ass 2 (dun think launched in Malaysia yet) - any recommended tyres? Criteria: Low rolling resistance but still good dry/wet performance, of course bonus if can tahan lama too Mine's a black GTI.

The wheelspin happens at take off, quite pronounced if you have rims like OZ, need to install S3 arms if you are a GTI. main issue with lightweight rims is thier durability vs msian potholes

1 thing ppl tend to forget..they splurge on nice rims...then put on some crappy cheap tires , kinda defeats the purpose. its better to have stock rims and GOOD tires

1. That one i cannot deny hahahaha
2. U mean pirelli p zero ? or maybe some potenza ? hehe

Agreed bro (that's why I'm not considering OZ) but I dun like my Denvers but good tyres? I've been reading and the good ones are like Michelins, Goodyear, Conti etc. I think 1 pc is all above RM700, right? Just dunno which tyres for balance of comfort and performance (not max performance but just good grip in both wet/dry). I choose the AEZ Tidore because each wheel can withstand a force of 705kg according to the TUV certificate posted on their website but for the life of me I can't find their weight!

Why don't you go to tirerack.com and do a search for tires. From there, you can set whatever criteria you want (max performance, max comfort, etc.) and you can narrow down your choices from there. If you're lucky, there are some user reviews as well.

And for good 18" tires, unless I'm wrong, I don't think you'll find anything below RM800 per tire.

OZ wave is also nice but macam copy stiggy only haha, i've ben considering either bbs ch or oz ultraleggeras, mainly cause of our torque isnt like gti's so lighter might be better but also mainly black rims on my white car la haha

quite a lot of 18" users slam on PS3, cause they say it gives better grip both dry and wet. and its quite expensive too per piece.

Guys really a quick question eh regarding yesterday searching for a car.. I found that the Fiat Abarth 500 are damn sexy aggresive little omnster, is it really worthy the price i mean rm170k for a "kelisa size" car ?

p/s : opss sorry i think it is not worthy just have a look into the fiat malaysia forum and the abarth 500 selling RM228k in Naza Italia.. Wow omg damn so mahal daripada GTI..

Thanks bro, I think I did visit their website, that's why I narrowed it down to PS3, CSC5 and GY F1 Ass2 but most reviews by users are a little subjective as the cars and road conditions differ.

Hehehe performance tyres for 18" are all above >RM1k man

Eh, not really bro.. For potenza the price will be that range.. But for Federal,Toyo,Michelin,conti will be not more than 900.. Btw u can consider Toyo T-1R.. Good in dry n wet.. Some say the tire a bit noisy.. But so far I've been using it for years since my previous ride.. No problem for me.. The price very attractive for 18".. if I have budget I will might use Advan Neova AD08.. Damn good review on it for track and road use..

Bro, zackloy, Hup Shun sunway sells the OZs.. Exotic Mods do sells the AEZ..

i love the ad08...been using it since my old car was sold to me with ad07 on it. next set..i think i will try CSC5, alot of good reviews

Thanks for the info bro, went to Exotic Mods that's why saw the AEZ. Hup Shun not yet....difficult to go Sunway with wife and kid in tow during weekends but managed to drag then to Exotic so maybe Sunway next but that's where I phobia...not used to Sunway man.

Added on July 5, 2011, 3:25 pmYa read a lot on the CSC5 too but dunno how much, the guy at Exotic Mods say the CSC5 more expensive than PS3, the CSC5P more than 1K.

Don't be afraid to sunway.. Hahaha.. The shop at front row only.. Next to JC racing and Everco exhaust shop.. They have quite alot of choices for VW..

Jun, I think my next tyre will be the AD08.. So tempted laa!! But heard good reviews on the CSC5 too.. What about the price bro?

CSC5 too new...19's no one seems to stock it yet...but im guessing probably rm1400-1500

scared of sunway? dun lar bro..its really easy...just drive pass the big ass pyramid, take the first left when u see the petrol station...

then the WHOLE road is mod racun liao...exhaust, tires, badges, kits...apa u mau pun ada

Hahaha...ok ok will boldly venture to the poison place!

Is damn pointless to take price into consideration when comparing car rolling race
In that case,might as well as say take a R1 fight all of them and smoke them like hell
Or Wira/Satria with 4G63 EVO engine,EVO III Big 16G would be more then sufficient to smoke all of them yet still cost like 30k all in including car
But at the end of the day,one ride R1 and one drive a Wira/Satria with 4G63
I doubt the Porsche owner mind being smoked by a 335I/GTI cause at the end of the day he still drive a Porsche

Like i said before wira need to put those evo engine to drag the HP and torque at high level why dont they use their own proton engine tuned up and have massived HP and torque.. yep truly agree with you at the end of the day still the driver driving a mighty proch :-D but remember Gti also the young brother of Porch beside audi, bmw and also merc :-D hahaha still got the piece of engineering inside.. PROTON WIRA?? no need to open up story then afterwards people will bashing me.. hehe
