hi all sifus, i have some questions about rims i'd like to find out more.
ok, 1stly, i'm driving a used Kenari. the previous owner changed the stock rims from 14" to 13". was this a smart thing to do? is it recommendable that i continue using these 13" rims or change back to 14"? what're the pros n cons of using smaller or bigger rims?
2nd part is, if i want to change the rims, any brand recommendations? mid ranged ones lar. where's the best place to get em? i know nuts about rims.
thank you all so much in advance
the 1st batch or kenari comes with 13 inch.....more comfortable with high profile tyres....ok, 1stly, i'm driving a used Kenari. the previous owner changed the stock rims from 14" to 13". was this a smart thing to do? is it recommendable that i continue using these 13" rims or change back to 14"? what're the pros n cons of using smaller or bigger rims?

anyway, did you buy the car directly from the owner or from used car shop.....
if from used car shop......high chances are the shop is the culprit....they will change the rims to lousy ones with tyres that reaching skinhead level......

phew, guess there's no harm in using 13". but about the cheaper tyres 
, not really. coz the last time i went to change my 2 back tyres, the mechanic told me not many brands r available for 13". it was either Simex(ngam ah?) or Yokohama. Yokohamas were RM170 a piece! i took Yokohama coz from what i heard Simex tyres r...not so good. OR DID I GET CONNED? no gua coz i asked at 2 diff tyre shops, both also told me the same thing.
Added on February 12, 2007, 10:58 ami'm now using JRD rims. again from what i heard, JRD rims has very debatable quality. it's getting really worn out too i.e some rust n there's like this skin peeling thing goin on on the surface(ape tu?)
so what rims brands can you sifus suggest to me? something mid ranged in terms of quality & pricing but looks not bad either. haha like asking for so much.
the skin peeling is due to paint coming off....meaning the rims have been touched up before if originally the rims do not have paint..... , not really. coz the last time i went to change my 2 back tyres, the mechanic told me not many brands r available for 13". it was either Simex(ngam ah?) or Yokohama.
