QUOTE(Xai-V-iaX @ Dec 13 2011, 08:02 PM) Truth to be said...its them rubber price that will kill us....a good set of 18" tires would set us back atleast RM500++ (...and that's already being generous in the pricing). Thus my biggest reason to consider 17s.... them rims are one time investment and lasts as long as the car itself (if you take care of them).... it's them rubbers that kills.... Real good ones can hit us atleast RM600+++ Just a general guide on them rubber pricing from AUTOWORLD's Forum 215/45R18 Goodyear F1 Directional 5 - RM540.00 Quicksave USJ (Sep'11) Nexen N8000 - RM498.50 Quicksave USJ (Oct'11) 225/45R18 Falken ZE912 - RM470 Ron Hwa, Kampung Jawa (Feb 11) Goodyear F1 D5 - RM680 Penang (Sep 11) Goodyear F1 Directional 5 - RM608.00 Quicksave USJ (Sep'11) Hankook V12 Evo - RM620 Auto City Tyre, Shah Alam (Nov'11) Hankook S1Evo - RM650 Auto City Tyre, Shah Alam (Nov'11) Michelin Primacy - RM840 Prai (Sep 11) ...and we haven't seen the rest of the pricing - Them PS3s, TOYOs & etc..... |

QUOTE(MeToo @ Dec 13 2011, 05:55 PM) Good advice, I leaning towards 7.5" also.... as for the lubang yes got many in Singapore/Johor... in KL car stuff are super overpriced.... ya, my rim is 7.5". but 225 is too expensive la. Good idea on the seat... as long as can fit 4 rims can le... cause those are chop shop.... they dont have tyres.. or they will fit some botak tyre for u to tahan until u reach a proper tyre shop. Actually our 114.3 is very easy size to find.. those toyota/subaru's 100 is very hard to find. Also... these street ricer kai... 7.5" they dont like.. not wide enuf... only 8" and above in good demand.. so these price can get My friend managed to get a BBS 6.2kg rim 17"x8" for under 1.7k aiyo, got ori rim awal awal say ma..... |

QUOTE(ckk125 @ Dec 13 2011, 06:18 PM) u try and find the diameter for 215/45/18 and 205/60/16. then u'll know why and that is the same reason why mitsu force proton to use this weird size. http://www.kouki.co.uk/utilities/visual-tyre-size-calculator16 = 205/60/16 17 = 215/50/17 18 = 215/45/18 |

QUOTE(Xai-V-iaX @ Dec 13 2011, 08:13 PM) Yea lad.....that's what is holding me back too.... Will mostly go for 17"... I have better use for the extra moolah in my wallet.... and the added advantage of comfort than 18 too...Dilemma either to go for 18" (my own self satisfaction) or 17" (for them moolahs in the wallet's satisfaction) You cant see the rims when you are driving, only when you walk to the car.... and that dont demand me paying at much higher premium over 17.....

QUOTE(matkela @ Dec 13 2011, 06:26 PM) I can only give my choice on ur no 3 question. can see from tyre specMy rims are 7.5 " wide. For 17" diameter rims, you want to go at least 0.5" wider than stock rims, which i was told to be 6.5". Please, no hard&fast rules, just people/expert's opinion, readily available if you google. So 7" to 8" is recommendable, if you go for 215 mm wide tyres. That was the guide i got, and my 2 sen opinion. http://www.michelin.com.my/Home/Products-S...Car/PilotSport3 215, minimum is 6 inches, max is 7.5', recommended is 7" |
