QUOTE(MeToo @ Jan 8 2012, 12:22 AM) Advanti rim all ori also cheap... cause its a singapore brand with factories in China, Taiwan, and Sepang. What I feel is, if you are goign to get a taiwan replica rims from an unknown manufacturer, u might as well get one from a reputable taiwan manufacturer. Getting Rims in Singapore is lame due to the fact that u have to smuggle your new or old rims out and resell them in malaysiua yourself. I also dropped by a friend's shop in Batu Pahat to check out some 2nd jap rims.. although "bro" price is cheap (sub 2k) the design they have is  Edit : Also my wife says "Put 5k rims on this car also peopel think its RM500 wan"  hahaha... means ur wife dun like the car... let her drive ur 370z.. u drive inspira lo...

QUOTE(MeToo @ Jan 8 2012, 12:09 AM) Went see many rims.... Volk grams light 2nd hand rims around SGD950 before nego 17x7.... a few others 18"s also quite decent pricing. Main problem is they refuse to makan either our tyre or rims. Count count... being the cheapskate that I am... didnt buy. Wonder tomorrow dat Ah Kit fella in Shah Alam got buka shop... if yes.. I probably go and grab some advanti rims. Oh ya those who went Setapak Rim Heaven... they sell any ori Advanti rims? (I doubt there is any fake advanti rims though...) Need some advice. Our ori rim is 16 x 6.5 with offset +46 If we change to 17x7.5 with similar offset (+46), means the rim will stick out slightly more right? Since offset similar but the new rim is wider (7.5 instead of 6.5), our new rim will stick out about 0.5 inch? I think if grab rims only from AH Kit quite worth it .....but his trade-in price for our wheels have always been said to be very low.... When I asked he said RM700....some have mentioned his take price between RM500-RM800

Say... are the setapak sellers offering any Advanti rims? Jack u been there u seen any?

CNY you need new clothes.. CNY, your car needs new adjustables... After CNY all i hear is people complaining over spend, no $$$... So do before CNY and enjoy adjustables during CNY..

Where you get good pricing for rims & rubbers - the trade-in price won't be that high Where you get high pricing for rims & rubbers - the trade-in price will be high

Been hearing "High trade in, high prices for new rims" is the modus operandi of most shops.. Well i think You are looking for ori rims, and their prices are standard if they are new...especially from YHI, ah kit sold my rims the same price as SS Pro Auto at sunway...not a single discount given on the rim...And i got mine from SS Pro Auto instead...Maybe you have better luck in getting some discount on ori rims if you hunt long enough... Unless you are talking about replica rims that god knows comes from where, their prices are not standardized and shops can and do simply quote you a price depending on his early agreed trade in value with you.. new inspira rims and tyres should fetch easily RM1k above...never settle for less...and of course you need to know what tyres want and its retailing for beforehand and only then you know if they up the tyre price to cover the high trade in given to you.. Rim hunting is really Happy hunting!
