QUOTE(iconic123 @ Dec 16 2016, 12:58 PM) QUOTE(leehernandez @ Dec 16 2016, 04:10 PM) For me personally if I have to choose I also prefer less fender gap with a bit thicker tires instead of thinner tires but more gap. In order to look nicer, the fender gaps should be no bigger than the thickness of the tires. Thin tires with bigger fender gaps IMHO looks more ugly but yeah people have different preferences I suppose. |

QUOTE(leehernandez @ Dec 14 2016, 05:10 PM) for what car and what size of sport rim are u looking to buy? bro, thanks for your quote to my post, i am now looking for 4pcs for Kia K3. if 18inch above,they do have wide selections of rim from original to immitation/many choices of high end tyre like ps4,ps3,cscd5,pirreli etc experienced jeff can help u.but the price is very expensive. Current tyre : Bridgestone Re003 and original rims - 215/45R17 | 7Jx17 ET49 | 5x114.3 Any suggestion? I am not familiar with the price range for rims, those selling @ RM 1200 for 4pcs, I am doubted for the quality. my story: last week, i went in a bumpy kampung road, then ter-bang a big hole on the road, then tyre burst on the spot and rim bengkok a bit and get repaired after that. Then tyre shop advice me to get a set of new rims due to safety reason. During my incident, there is another vios bang the same hole like mine but he got worst than mine, his "sportrims" broken on the spot. This make me worry of using those cheap/imitate/low quality rims. https://www.facebook.com/pg/kingofrims/phot...137886246250464 I am just wondering is their rims original as well? |

If wider or rare sizes then more expensive. |

QUOTE(initialdota @ Dec 27 2016, 04:20 PM) Thx yr info.btw,u know the weight for ori Vios rim? I heard the quality and weight for ori and replica rim is almost same? I am confusing now QUOTE(leehernandez @ Dec 27 2016, 05:20 PM) Not all sports rim are created equal, most out there are crap shitty fake replicas! They are either as heavy as the std rims or lighter but not proven to be as strong. Just like typical std rims of normal cars, Vios std rims is also quite heavy for its small 15' size, if not mistaken about 8kg or more (I once compared a Vios TRD rims against my 17x8.5 forged rims where my rims are 6.5-7kg but the Vios rim despite its much smaller size was heavier!). Good lightweight 15' rims can be as light as 5kg or less. So if you want to change rims, change to original brands but not fakes. If want to save money or cannot afford original Japan rims then buy original Taiwan brands like Advanti or Enkei Tuning or Thailand's Lenso, those are good value for money and pretty light too. |
