U mean bad ildling rpm ? Its ur car is hybrid then no sound nor vibration la

Sorry not familiar with shop in central region.
I was asking tyre shop sifu whether I can take 215/55/17 also but he said its too heavy, not practical at all.

Rm400 for rims really low, I wouldn't accept it
What is normal price range for trade in?

Do u feel heavier since the profile is thicker?

Good price for rims. Is your rim very new during trade in time?

Ngam ngam I'm from Penang and Ipoh hehe.
How can I help?

I'm using Huper Optik, how can I help?
HO price in Penang (I asked 2 shops) is around 1600-1700.

I'm very satisfied the result, fast cool down within 5-8mins after my ride is "burning" under hot sun in open car park from 8am-5pm.

If u find any pls share with us. I'm also staying in Penang island. Cheers~

By the way, have u check out the tyre shop beside Vistana hotel?
I saw a lot of Lenso rims there~ but those are 17"
You may go survey as the staff are very friendly, coz I changed tyre for my Hyundai Getz recently, they provide good service.

I feel slighly light in weight because I changed rim which about 8++kilo..but the meter feel heavier laa because of the 50 tyre profile..
I heard from my friends, nowadays, cars speedometer will direct changed with RPM (not sure if its true or not)

Yup..my rim still new with no scratch or bent with 'K' logo..odometer 2700km during trade in

Sometimes, I can feel minor vibration when stop at traffic light with hand hold the steering. What to do... cheaper car is like that. Cannot compare with Civic

Thanks ohde. I looking for 16inch to make my car more comfortable. I will try if got chance go to Vistana Hotel.

Bro ohde, i found red led side sill for forte but the seller said that can deal face to face in penang and ipoh only.. Thought if there's a fortezen nearby can help..

Btw, to install it, need major or minor wiring? sked warranty void..

Can show off your rims? Hehe
What kind of rim only 8kg+ ?

You did it right to trade in rim when it's new.
Mine got scratches already, don't know how much value left =.="

Welcome. Sharing is caring

Which series of HO you use? 5-8min not consider long meh?
1600-1700 with security film?

Its a taiwan brand...Wedsport is the name..before this i already share my pic..i tot its a 8++ kg laa because very light than stock rim without tyre

It's Ceramic 70 and 40, non security film.

I mean if don't open the windows it take around 5mins to cool down (I didn't really measure the time, just estimate).

If open windows would take around 2 mins.
Aircond set at 22, fan speed level 2.

Actually it's very hard to describe in words, it's about feeling.

I don't have other tint/car to test. The only available to compare is my old Getz and my new Forte.

Getz is with tint RM450. With the same condition I feel painful and suffer under hot sun when I back from work. It take longer time to cool down and it is more heat when I get in.

My forte with HO is much much more cooler in whatever condition.

Looks good, thanks for the sharing.
I can see the tyre really thicker, feel that your rim is smaller hehe

those who need original rim pm me. hahaha.

whose Forte has the vibration ? that Forte could be having unstable idling problem.. ask SC to fix it..
mine steady no vibration and no excessive intrusive sound at all..

but you cannot expect it's NVH twice better than a Honda and equivalent to a Lexus.. from a Kia..

As expected for a 100k car.. Corolla Altis also vibrates what..
Civic no comment because I never liked that car and never bothered to check / experience it.. their chassis ride quality, sound proof, sucks like a Persona
not sure about the new generation Civic.. but then it should be good because plain bread and butter car selling at nearly RM132k (basic ICE no touchscreen)

hi guys..do u know what kind of cable i need to connect my galaxy note 2 to forte's AUX IN port??

what is your budget ? Usually CHEAP thing doesn't come good...estimate at least need Rm500-600. If you want cheap go buy those carbon fibre alike sticker..i think Rm100-200 enough

pearl black paint macam Toyota Alphard.. asked at my regular ketuk2 body shop at Pandan Indah need to spend about RM480.. (asking price RM520)..
but need to leave the car there minimum 3 days.. need time to cover other parts of body except roof, spray nice nice.. and let it be to dry for 48 hours..

Yo bro bear.. Mine 2.0 baby having the vibration. I think it's unstable idling prolem.. Coz the engine is warmed up but engine still vibrate.. Place hand on it, my watch pun goyang..If SC can fix it as suggested, then i'll make a trip to SC to check tmr..
Ask them to check the MDPS as well.. Coz feeling not as light as before d.. Dunno whether im oledi adapted to it or it has some problem..
