Try to work out your budget on how much u can spend for a set of 15" with brand new tires. If u have a limited budget, then perhaps can consider 2nd hand used set of 15" but get brand new tires.

15" wheels design & prices are subjective to what u have in mind & your preferences. As for tires, I would recommend u to go for Continental Max Contact 5 (MC5), Yokohama A-Drive, C-Drive 2 or Dunlop since u prefer comfort towards handling feel.

This is my personal opinion to u, perhaps u can wait for others here to recommend or suggest u further information. wink.gif

dont skimp on the tyres just to have pretty rims. even your steel rims with good tyres are better than expensive rims with crappy tyres!
H-rated silverstones quite terrible. i "drifted" down genting when it rains on them! WTF

i know..that why need suggestion about tyre more than rim..rim just want u guys to recommend design only..hehe..
i think budget under 1.5k..old tyre already 8k km..so not worth much already..last ask kedai tyre they want rm400 for that steel rim and trye..but that time 5k only..

Continental Max Contact 5 (MC5) how much for the price? nt8000 not comfort enough? thinking to find flx se rim and use it..but susah to find laa..mudah also cannot find..

Conti MC5 is not available for 15", min size is 16"/17" afaik. try Michelin XM2, Conti CC5 or Achilles ATR Sport, should be in your budget.

get ready rm2.5k if you want a brand new rims and good rubber, don't worry there will be a small balance. because mind you that you will have to buy a lock nut set and center cone which easily cost you rm100~rm150. get second hand rims if you don't mind.
