Think about it, Toyota Altis is a family sedan and it's recommended for comfort drive, you don't need to spend a fortune to get the 'best' tyre that costs rm500 above so that you get the extra grip to speed >180km/h

Yokohama have some nice series that floats arn 300+ to 400.
A drive R1 & C drive is decent enough to pair with Altis, with softer compound means it will absorb road noise so you get a even quieter driving experience.

ps: you change rim + tyre already void warranty so why not just change the entire suspension? laugh.gif

fast cornering + safe = low ride = new suspension.

Tire alone wont be the saviour smile.gif try pm this guy for reasonably priced Yokohama tires.

1.8k consider ok price to pay for original rims.

i've no experience on avanti, o.z is even more expensive if you get the original easily cost over 4k and finding pcd100 is the pain in the a$$, you know what i mean tongue.gif

if you are looking for a reliable and light weight imitation, try Advan Racing wheel, design is more subtle and the weight is really light, price arn 1-1.2k.
