bros, i wan to change my stock Waja 15" rims to something lighter. Anyone got a good recommendation for lightweight 15" rims? my budget below RM1000... hehe

17" usually weighting around 7 to 8 kilos.. and can be heavier..
but there are some 17" weighting 5 kilos only.. damn light.. smaller rim are usually lighter

under 1k.. hmm.. lenso would be appropriate.. but my guess is all 15" are lighter than stock rims.. and cost around 1k..
u can go to shop ask.. but 1k u can buy taiwan also.. light and cheap..

Hey bro, seems like you're quite interested with rims eh. Yup, like what I said the other day.. lightweight ones are the way to go to preserve ur FC. Lenso rims are quite decent. If you trade in your stock rims + tires, and get the rims + tires.. you might get a good deal. Can always try to go to h20 in klang.. lotsa forumers go there for rims..

hoo.. is h20 is where at klang? batu belah area izzit?

yo bro!! love the strut bar i bought from u!! can feel the difference in handling.

yaloh! the stock tires are damm heavy. i wanna get something lighter for my ride. used rims also no prob. hmm since alot of people talking about klang, i think i will take a drive there. where is h20?

i think this is one is not original (correct me if i'm wrong).. maybe taiwan made..
maybe this is the real thing

Glad that you liked it, bro
But don't drive too fast yah. Don't scare the gf..hehe

H20's along Jalan Kapar, Klang. Quite a big and reputable establishment. My brother bought his rims there and I got my tyres there.
Quite reasonable.

Yea. They prolly look good, but are heavy. I'll try to avoid them at all cost.

WindDragon: Since the gab between the wheel arch of the Waja is quite big.. try considering a 16".
It does up the cool factor a bit. That's the only reason why I got them for my car. Few more days then my car will be sold.

exchange ur rims with mine la... maybe the new owner won't notice. haha

yeah 16' will definitely look better on my waja. i think i will drive to klang tomorrow lol.

hello guys..
i m currently using 17inch lenso ls2 rims with falken 522 205/40/17..
the problems now my wheel keep on shaking when speeding above 80kmh..
i've done so many times normal balancing and once with manual on wheel balancing (didnt use any machine) and my problem keep on happen..
so now i m searching a really2 good tyre shop that can done a nice job on wheel balancing in ampang/setapak/wgsa maju area..
any ideas from sifu2?
really need help now..

what is the best size to fit into a BLM??

yup, taiwan made. the guy told me like that. it is cheaper than japan made. but, it should has QC since it enkei wheels.

Lol. You also like my rims also eh? hehe! Cannot la, bro. The new owner kinda like my current rims.
Think that was probably the best mod I did to my car, except that it hurt the FC a bit

Yup. Good luck searching. Lenso rims are recommended for your budget

umm..got..sticker shop sure got sell the ssr sticker..some is even those reflective quailty..can try tom's sticker and see..if not..go racing fit..if dun have also..u go to the sek15 oppsite the mamak also got a sticker shop..

Get all 4 wheels finish-balanced (on-wheel balancing).
Many shops in KL don't seem to have the on-wheel balancers, which is REALLY bad Did it in my hometown (Malacca)

Make sure the shop you go into has an on-wheel balancer, or they would usually con you by jacking the front of your car, putting it into gear and running the wheels with their hand on the fender/lower-arm/etc.

A finish-balancer would look something like this...

used to have the same issue as yours.... look at the rims and no dents....

but when took out the rims and tires and put the on the balancing machine... they tested and saw that theres small dents which causes the vibrates....


balancing how many times oso still will vibrate...

suggest u check for urs as well....

but i think 16" is much better than 17" for FC.. coz the bigger the rim the bigger the hole made in ur pocket.. many says that using 17" is for cosmetic purpose.. but i dont agree.. hehehe..
