Hi all sifus,

I'm looking to change my wheels after 10 years running stock and I saw the R3 wheels and I'm interested.



Part number: RSW05008A2

I have looked up online and couldn't find anywhere that sells this, I have messaged the PROTON page on fb but they haven't replied.

I would like to keep the rims the same size as the stock.

Does the sifus have any idea where I can get genuine R3 products? I may consider their R3 exhaust in the future too...

Thank you.

Advanti made those wheels, don't think it is still in production. You can hunt for used ones but many "cutting ori" fakes out there. And why you want to keep 16"? Buying tyres is a pain in the ass, better upgrade to 17" with more tyre options. Been always using Michelin XM2 then XM2+, recently upgraded to Primacy. Expensive and hard to find it in stock.

I thought 205/60r16 is one of the most popular tyre size?

It’s not popular for sure. Rarely got UHP choices in that size. Late model year Inspira was riding in 215/50R17 which has way more tire choices including stuff like Mijilin Pilot Sport and this size is also shared by the Civic FC — I think it’s the non national make best selling car in its class.

Even cold brands like Kumho PS31 has size for 215/50R17

60 series tyre choices mostly eco / touring. 50 series you get to choose both eco / touring and performance

Ah, I think this is why. 205/60r16 is honestly for people that wants a more comfy ride and cheaper price, not for those wanting UHP. I downgraded the rim of my car to 16" because of this.

I don’t think it’s cheaper because the cheaper brands don’t usually carry the size, e.g. Kumho, Hankook,

Also look at the tyre price list under tyre talk. This size used to go for RM4xx per donut. And limited brand/model.

Now got UC6 sub RM400 and Toyo NE3 sub RM300. But these are not tyres I would want to install on my car…

Thanks for the information, I will consider other wheels, or just spend on respraying since the black bits are visible now :'(

Last Sat decided to change front pads to bendix MK and flushed the brake oil as well. Foreman said brake system doesn't have abs reset hence no need to do. Brakes feel real good, tight with slight tap. No screeching sound.

Also for valve cleaner and fuel injector, what brands is preferable? Am using 3M currently and it feel lighter and responsive. Have bought Liqui Moly valve cleaner but awaiting for next couple refuel to add in. Have not used any valve cleaner and mileage is slightly above 300k km.

Anyone got any experience swapping 1.8mt to a 4b12 engine?
Can I use back all the same parts? or is there alot of other mods required?

Like do I have to change ECU, throttle body, exhaust, engine mount, etc?

215/45/17

both comfort and UHP or generally any tires (even budget/entry tires)

botack

Oh, I mistakenly thought 205/55R16 is an easier buy, because this video says it's the world's most bought tyre size

Boss, you got any comments on your 2.0P CVT?
My pren getting one.
Wondering what other stuff I wanna add to my check list

you see la boleh land car offerings, wheel sizes keep growing bigger

=edit=
another indicator, look at pricing between 15/16/17 sizes (of course, evaluate same brand/models)

Car needs to go higher and talller

Make sure gearbox feels "Okay". Your car should feel smooth. I never drove an auto, let alone a CVT before, so I didn't realise that the lag I felt when I press the throttle was actually the gearbox dying. (I blame my fren for not wanting to test drive with me, even though I bring him for the sole purpose of him test drive ). I replaced mine with one from a potong car for RM2500, which is lucky since the workshop has stock.
Also engine mounting. If engine mounting is cracked or old, your car can sound weird when riding speed bump. You might think it's the bump stopper (it has the same side effect).

If both of these things are okay, then you will have a decent, fun drive. The car is quite heavy, but that heavyness also makes the car planted.
Driving long distance is comfy, and I love the chair, altho I don't really like leather seats (might change this in the future).

If you want to change your radio to an android head unit, I suggest getting a USB extender with console header so you can install your USB directly to either the centre console (above the handbrake) or side console (right of the steering wheel) instead of the default place in your glove compartment.


Fun fact: local seller is selling this stuff for RM100+. Crazy la. I rather wait 3 weeks for this to arrive from China.

One last thing, find a workshop that you can really trust with your car. I don't mind paying extra for a mechanic that is truthful and explain to me what's wrong, and walk me through the solution, compared to searching for a place that offers the lowest price, but does a shoddy work.

Plan for the future: Ralliart sleeper conversion? Shop has ralliart potong from Japan that you can install the Turbo engine/SST Gearbox/AWD starting around RM30K. The only thing that I am wary about converting is the ralliart/evo is quite fuel hungry. Dunno if my wallet can tahan after that

your CVT got install hyper 212 ++++
You just did t appreciate it

I just want my 1.8 to have a 6th gear that doesn't send my car backwards
Gonna change all oils on the 2.0 later and see whether got same luck as you

botack hope you can share

I'm super interested to do it but i can't find many posts of it online...most just convert to 4b11 or 4b11t.

ada workshop offer swap. bayar je.. look for it in fb group.
