Bigger rims brings better performance.

Let say, my stock rims is 15'. Should I change to lighter 15' rims or weight that is about the same as my stock rims? Which is better?

your stock rims is 15' and you want to change to lighter 15' rims. of course, more advantage there

Been reading around, and know that there's genuine and mostly imitates are by Taiwan. Are there any disadvantage of having those Taiwan made in terms performance?

the taiwan vs japan rims issues focus on 2 points. weight and strength.

japan rims are known for their strength and of course weight
while taiwan rims are light too. about the strength, well, depends on the brands. some cheap brands from taiwan of course easily bent which is not good .

but to answer your question, in terms of car perfomance, taiwan and japanese aren't much different. in terms of rims strength, japanese wins hands down.

but me and my family have been using 2 brands of taiwanese rims and both are good. Advanti racing and Kspeed. both of them served all of us well for 10 years(advanti on kia carnival), 6 years(kspeed on wira), 1 month (advanti on viva).

guys my sport rim is kinda gelong(in english what ha?) any chance to fix it?? or need to find the new 1...

bented rims? . those big tyre shops can fix it. i'm not sure where tho. i'm sorry

ps : if the bent is too much, better buy new one for safety, don't you think?

Thanks for the explanations I went through the link you posted at the top of this page. And saw this Advanti 15' at RM899. Quite cheap, I believe. And it's Advanti as you suggested.

not too worse.. but when wanna turn right i can fell that rims is not stable.. only 1 got big prob.. the other 3 rims is little bit prob.. sapa2 sini know where place can fix it let me know ya... thx..

the 899? the advanti ultralite version is it? i've been using that too for my viva . hoping for it to last long just like the old advanti on family's kia carnival.

Is there anything in particular I should put more attention to when buying rims?

Having a confusion. What does PCD100x6.5jj implies? x6.5jj? Huh?

well, when you purchase new rims, you have to calculate the price of the new lug nuts, which is 4x4=16 of them for all 4 tyres. because the stock lug nuts won't fit to most of the sport rims.


PCD is pitch circle diameter. for viva, PCD is 100, for iswara, pcd is 110 if i'm not mistaken .

6.5jj is the width of the rims which is, 6.5 inch. i'm not sure about this, maybe experts can correct me if i'm wrong.

so, from my noob understanding.

PCD100 is the pitch circle diameter which is 100, usually PCD100 can fit viva,kelisa,myvi.
6.5jj is the width if the rim.


just my 2cents. and i CAN BE wrong

Thanks... are new 12 inches rims rare/ unpopular?

i'm not sure tho. i don't play K-Car much. although i am driving a k-car, i'm using 15 inchers instead

Looking for used Lenso Project D 16" or 17".Do let me know if any of u guys wanna sell.

May i ask,, what rims should i fit into myvi se?? a 15 inch rim or 16 or 17??..Kinda new about car stuff =).

15' is just nice. 15x7 perhaps? wider rims .

16' is okay too. i looks nice on myvi. but find those lightweight rims because myvi is just 1.3L

in my opinion, 17' is somehow too overkill for 1.3L. hurmmm

Could a 850cc car support 15" rims? What effect on the performace and fuel comsumption? Thanks.

Lenso LENSOSTYLE DP1

Is this rim any good?
Is it heavy? (for 15" d la, can recommend tires? )
Ngam for LMST n-line silver or not?
Can I find it in Kuching Sarawak area? (how much will this cost? + recommended tires la )
Thanks!

hmmm... try to look at Advanti also... lightweight for your for is better...

well, the bigger the size, the heavier mass rotation of that rim is. since yours is 850cc, i suggest you to go for 14' max
