rim not always the more light weight the better

ori rim also doesnt mean pothole proof, one pro told me , if u want your rim be safe from pothole, not only your rim have to be strong, but also depend on the tyre size you chosen.the best is keep your wall more than 100 height ( let say 215width 50 profile tyre, 215*0.50=107.50) ,then you are good to go.

damn good information from the thread you linked biggrin.gif

but eh my car is under 100whp, so i think lower rigidity in favor of weight shouldn't be too much of a problem sweat.gif

hehehe, diff people diff priority, but for malaysia road condition i care about strength of the rim more.

one thing i like about the ori rim is the finishing of the ori rim, very nice.

How bout TE37 or rota?
*
was considering ce28n earlier, but then told by friends, many his kaki using on skyline crack and dent easily. he suggested go for te37 instead, but then te37 abit expensive for 17 around 4500+- used set, and too common and lotsa replicas. so now considering get some prodrive forged rims by rays engineering too. around the same level with te37, but cheaper by 20 to 30%

Skyline too heavy and hardcore drive.
Maybe they can consider for enkei or OZ rims.

For te37 & ce28n just suitable for daily car.

Even my sylphy also stick with OZ.

But for my sentra the only choice for SSR type C.
Due to eating petrol per km 0.23c = 8.26/L now.
The solution for go lighter weight rims.

er, skyline around 1.4 ton only, my car also around 1.3ton like that,
its not mainly because of the weight , its really depend on how u drive and what profile tyre u use. if low profile + not avoid pot hole at all then, good luck to you, even ori rim also dent.
like my fren driving inspira who using 18 inch enkei rs05 with 225/40 tyre, 2 rim dent.
