I've been browsing through the internet to gather knowledge on tyres since it's going to be my first time changing it and deciding to upgrade rims to 16" from 15".
I've been contemplating whether to go for the 195/50/16 or 205/50/16 tyres for my VW Polo Hatchback 1.6
It's difficult for me to find reviews for people who upgrade 15" to 16" on a VW, let alone finding choices of rims for my car with PCD 5x100.
I tried looking for choices of rims on Mudah, Carousel and workshops that have websites, but not much choices as compared to other cars.
However, I found one new Taiwan VW 16" rims that I like from KingOfRims and together with 195/50/16 tyres will cost me RM2700.
The rims alone will cost me RM1600 and the tyres cost RM260 each. The rest is alignment, valve, etc. For experienced petrolheads, do you guys think it's reasonable? I don't know much about the prices so I just want to make sure that the cost is normal and reasonable enough to pay for.
I'm willing to spend that much on tyres because of its looks and I do hope it does not sacrifice too much comfort too as it would if I go for 17".
Before this I was thinking of going for 17", but after receiving feedback, it's more cons than pros. So I thought of going towards the 16" which I think it will have more pros than cons.
So before I make my decision, would love to hear your thoughts who has more knowledge and experience on these. Thanks so much in advance!
First time going to change Rims & Tyres!, Tyre choices? Good or bad
