Saving weight at the wheel have a much bigger impact then saving weight on the car itself, its like each KG saved at the wheel is liek 3~4k on the car itself.

Please be careful MeToo. Those rims are +52 offset. Stock rims +46 offset. Ask Mr Google and use the tire+rim comparator before you decide, if you have not.

Ya offset kinda off (no pun intended) but the price is attractive... so i reckon others within same range should be aroudn that price... I have a thing for Rays product...

Havent decide.. waiting for my friend to send me photo of some rims... can get "brother" price for cheaper see his goods first lor...

I was surfing Rays site for rims.. then my wife come over "Har? New car wan change rims liao?!"...

I was like.. sei for lor this time.... then she sat down and start giving opinion which one nicer

Ok...just for sharing purpose with you guys on the comparison of the tyre size changes option versus our stock tires...

I compared our stock tyre specs against

1- 215/45/17
2- 215/50/17
3- 215/45/18
4- 225/45/18

And just as an reminder/note to all - When changing tire sizes, its recommended staying within 3% of the diameter of the original tire. Any more than this and you face the risk of brake failure.

For me, I'll just re-paint the ori rim and use same spec Michelin tyres (maybe PS3).

K3, ur fren did full? Interior and seat? How much?
I pn that guy but no response. Hmm...

Nice... notice the Lancer GT/Lancer Sportback's 215/45/18 almost exactly same diameter as our stock (lancer EX's).

Also noticed something.... their tyre... despite being 18"... only cost like ~RM80~100 more then the 17".... very very minor difference.... wtf... i thought it would be like ~300 more each....

U guys can play with rims and expensive tyres... Jealous ;(
I can only stick with 16" if can I cheapskate want 15" but ugly... Tyres also expensive ah for 17 and above.i thought cheapskate buy inspira hahaha, but all so rich -.-""

Problem is our stock tyre size is odd sized, not all brands have 205/60/16, PS3 dont have....

Instead of 60, I think 55 have more option right?
Not diff much also for the height.

For PS3 you'll need to get 205/55/16 or 215/55/16

yes... 55 MUCH more option... but if u compare the price with say 17"... its minor.. like 30~50 bucks

I feel so sor hai... now only realise price difference between 16" , 17" , 18" tyres very minor difference.. its the fragging 19" that price easily x2.5...

Still can find one.

U going smaller than stock.....??? Makes your wheel well gap even bigger lor......

But yeah.... 205/55/60 is more common....

How nice.... Maybe pip should learn some skill from u so that he don't get to c black face so often.... ><

Cool . Means now mine not so big diff reading.

Feasible option apparently slants towards them 215/45/18 rubbers tho' you'll have a sum of finger gap between the tires & fender (unless yer ride is lowered)....

Speedometer Difference of +0.271% when going for the above option is the best among all the 4 compared and with a Diameter Difference of +0.28% is definitely a safe bet.

The small margin really can tell from ur eyes ah?
Good train from valley view d la!!!!
