My view is good and bad. If you drive fast over potholes then you will likely damage your alloy wheels more than ori wheels, driving habit issue. Alloy wheels are lighter and mostly low profile, it saves you fuel and provides better grip to the road. Best for highway cruising.

So if you willing to change your driving habit for damage control, go for alloy, else, stick back to heavy and strong stock wheels, but burn more cash on pump (in general).

There are 2 aspects of this topic. Alloys are lighter, more grip but more drag as well. Stocks heavier, lesser grip and lesser drag. Drag is the contact area with the road and associated engine power needed to move the car forward without wheel spin. F1 have broad wheels with large contact area it is very hard for wheel spin. Because the drag is so high, the engine must be very powerful to rotate the wheel fast over short period of time. Most drivers will press hard on accelerator which eventually increases fc.

If not for the pickup part, low profile alloy wheels will save more fuel when cruising steadily provided not in racing mode. *every extra 1kg costs equivalent amount of fuel*

Hello for all the sifu, lejen here.

I would like to ask opinion from everyone here. I just changed my steel rim to a sport rim. the detail will be 15 inch with 8jj on saga flx. What concern me right now is the tyre expend a bit right now (5inch). could i just buy smaller tyre, say 185, 50 to solve the problem?

your respond is highly appreciated.

anyone can recommend nice looking rims for persona? 15/16" would be fine been looking volks emotion gtr like rims but no smaller size i guess

Tire stretching is wrong and not recommended. For 8jj wide rims you need to use minimum 215 wide tires and even that already start to stretch just a bit but still within the max limit tolerance. For 185 tires, max just use 6.5jj rims. So in summary you've bought the wrong rim size for your car, so better change it again.

Original Japan Enkei RPF1.

Just browse in Mudah, got a few selling ori ones there.

Tq for your reply. Very much appreciate it. May I know what others downfall of having it on my saga?

You mean having your 8jj rims for your Saga, or having 185 tires on 8jj rims?

having 8jj rim on my saga.

Actually as long as the rims/tires (provided you use properly matched tire size) are not touching anything else on your car but yet stay within the fender/body line, then still ok, but the question is can they?

hello there,
i've been thinking to change my tyre..
185/45/16-7j
185/40/16-7j

issit ok?
or 195/40-16

tq for ur opinion..

guys, some simple question,
those rim spec 13-2x " is diameter of the rim, 7jj - 8jj i know is the width of rim.
4x100 = 4 hole? 8x100 = 8hole?
but those offset is what?

Yes, 4x100 is 4 holes with PCD100
If 5x114.3 means 5 holes with PCD114.3
PCD means the holes distance spec.

Offset means how far/near the rim "face" from the center. Offset is important to know whether the rim would be too outside from fender or too inside.

good afternoon everyone ,
