warranty on what?

Dia cakap some of the rim kadang kadang boleh keluar angin from rim. That one will replace new one. Kaki patah tanpa langgar, will replace new one too.


But when I checked with other tyre shop, normally none will give warranty.

I will advise you that you take some clearer pics of the TCS light on or perhaps video showing blinking light, the ODO meter current mileage and "check engine" light or whatever error which pops up visually and e-mail to your Salesman for his kind further action. Request the complaint / satisfaction of car delivery form n state in all of your disatisfaction of this MAJOR problem for a 300km 1 week old car. Push them until they all mampos to get another brand new car replacement.

Ask your parents to help you out to get another brand new car replacement. Sometimes Naza Kia management and SC will listen to the elderly people complaints and react accordingly rather than complaints from younger ppl like us. sad.gif

Not only Naza Kia .... The world is like that. Believe me, I an old enough and I agreed that certain peoples only listen to elder person.

Please share wether will void warranty or not if change rim?



Kidmad,
After you downgrade to 15", how come your FC increased? I checked your fuelly and looks no good.

luckily you have smaller rim. If not, I believe your FC will get even higher.

I have no luck to find good 15" and 16" inch rim in Penang. I found one 16" Lenso Project D01. But the shop want me pay RM1000 with trade in. In another shop, I found 17" Lenso Project Spec B (I like this) but pay same RM1000. Very attractive. Means I get 17" more worth than 16".

The problem if I change to 16", I will have to but new tyres that will cost me additional RM1500 (Michelin MX2) for 4 tyres.

I am in dilemma now.... hmm.gif

Ah Bear, you changed your rim? What is the size? How much you trade in your stock rim and how much you have to pay for this? What brand is it?

What is the rim weight?

Made in Taiwan.. 17" Advan RZ (Gun Metal)
unfortunately I didn't ask about its weight.. I can lift one up with 1 hand without much effort (or my biceps got alot muscles)Ā  tongue.gif
cannot afford to buy genuine rims..Ā  sad.gif

Taiwan rims nowadays also very light. For sure it is lighter than stock rim. I found one that day.. Almost same as you... The price is same too. He told me from Thailand and guaranteed the quality is good enough.

For sure the brand is not Advan RZ .. I think this is original brand and cost us a bomb.


But they trade in your rim really low... RM250 original price really too low . I ask more than 20-30 shops .. normally they accept RM400. Highest RM600 and lowest is RM350.

I wouldn't care so much about trade-in price because I know people doing business out there must cari makan and pay monthly wages to their staffs.. myself also doing business..
so kasi chance la.. since they have alot of 2nd hand Forte and BMW rims in store..

plus my stock rims condition is not really as good as typical 1 year old rims.. mine is like 3 yrs old rims..  shakehead.gif

wah you so rajin purposely went to 20 - 30 shops just to ask ?

Got baby? You spend rm500-600 can get good rim liao with trade in .. But do some survey .. ask for at least 6 months guarantee. Make sure don't get local rim - heavy like hell.

make sure don't get China rim .. sure patah ....

Now all replica rim ... Except Advanti Racing (TW) and Lenso (Thai) .. Those you need to pay more money like me.

Worth!  thumbup.gif  Considered personalization also  rclxms.gif

One of the reasons that pushed me to change rims last time is because I had one incident where I tried to open a Forte that wasn't mine  blush.gif Same body kit, same visor.. Then parked at my "favourite" spot.. Until I realized the number plate not the same  whistling.gif

I agreed... Look at the clumsy stock rim ... look at other forte having same rim with us .. really boring...

Once get it changed, looks more garang ... smile.gif You horn other cars sure they will get scared smile.gif ....

Ah_bear car can roar now ....


But not mine lah smile.gif I have not bodykit.

Bro,

Which rims shop is this?top up 1k after trade in our stock rims or use backĀ  the stock tyre + lenso rim?

Got other type of lenso rims there?Im looking for lenso eurostyle 6
*
top up 1k after trade in lah .. Of course use back stock tyre, just replace the rim with lenso one..... mana ada big katak jump on the road....

Yes. They have one set ES6. I will post you the address tomorrow. It is in Penang mainland.

Don't think it is cheap just top up 1k. I noticed lenso rim price start dropping to 1.4K ... Earlier was 1.6-1.7k. It could be fake rim too smile.gif

But I doubt people create replica rim for Thai brand rim. Not worth.
