I'm using Advanti Vigoroso... Using the super old method when weighting the RIM... And when compared side by side with the stock RIM "mcm langit ngan bumi"...

Ok. That is good rim!!! M.A.T. ... That i couldnt found in Penang.

sure they wont give the quality lug nut for free. E spec got hyper silver color meh? I saw only silver and fade black. The guy from the rim shop keep on poison me to choose Lenso ES6 which is even looks bigger but a bit VIP which i dont like. Not pening already.

I think that is chrome silver, I guess... Very shining. Put on the car lagi garang .. Because I am uncle level already.. The rim is not flat... All the rims can be easily get scratched when you hit border even you have good tyre with rim protection. That's why I dont like.

Dont let them poison you. You ask them match for you and see. Also consider the weight. I very particular with the weight. so I choose PDC. But PDE or ES6 also very good.

Thanks. My city drive FC really sux.
Always 12L/100km. tongue.gif
Thanks. I think the lost momentum feel is because the lighter rim get more efficiency to slow down when engine breaking happens, maybe?

Definately braking is smoother than before..

To explain about momentum. Let me explain in this way .... You drive from one start point ..For example: Within 10 seconds you accelerate your car to 80km/h and release the accel pedal and check if the car can go how far... without hit the brake pedal

1. With heavy rim, your car sure will roll further because of momentum.

2. Lighter rim... sure will not go further because no weight to push it keep running.


The super heavy weight big truck or lorry are very dangerous when they drive very fast. Because no way for them to do efficient braking. The momentum will keep pushing the truck move further.

Guys, if anyone has stock rims and want to sell, please let me know. I'll match the trade in price if it's reasonable, so that I don't have to pay the tyre shop guy a small premium on top of what he buys it at from you tongue.gif

Almost same priceĀ  to you .. just they didnt put on the center cone for meĀ  doh.gif

Ah_bear lah ... only tell me about center cone after I get it installed. So cannot bring back to them and ask for it.

Also they asked me to adjust camber because 1 degree run out to the right on my front right rim... extra charge RM50. I didnt let them do it. After asked the KIA SC, they said ignore this it will not harm anything.

The lug nuts, you better buy good one, dont simply let them put the normal one. That will give you problem next time if they give you low quality of lug nuts. TPI brand is not bad, ask them give you that. remember that.

I will change my lug nut later.

IMHO, if u wanna know more about the characteristics of RIMS and WHEELS (especially to decide whether a centre cone is needed/worth investing upon), pls take some time to go through this:

Only problem is, that's really expensive. At that price you might as well get after market Advanti's for just a little more. Trade in value for stock rims seems to be around rm400, however of course when they sell it off they want to make a small mark up too. I'm hoping to avoid that mark up, while getting cheap rims. It's a win-win situation for most of the parties involved (buyer of new rims gets the same value as they would have when trading in, buyer of old rims (me) gets cheap rims without additional mark up, rim shop does not have to buy hard to move items).

People say new cars are like that. But last time mine the highest was 10L/100KM.

What kind of traffic are you driving through most of the time? City? Highway?
It'd really help if you can give further details on your driving conditions.

Forte is not a really full city car. If 100% city driving with a lot of traffic lights, traffic jams, then your consumption might be as high.
Although those are Area Beyond Control.

What you can control is your driving style.

Good tips...

Is it true that city drive will consume more fuel and your FC will be high... especially when more than 80% city drive + you're heavy footer... This is base on my experience... Don't know about other...
