an advise to you never change to 17" rim like mine coz the brakes doesn't perform very well, maybe it needs to change the brake pads.

does bendix produces alot of brake pad dust?
*
For me, it produce lesser dust than the Nissin original pad from Japan. I wouldnt want to sarcify my performance for 17" rim bro. Max i will consider is 16" but at then end still 15" Hehe biggrin.gif

QUOTE
if the tyre is 185/60/R15 , will it cost the same or more expensive?


Of course i will be much cheaper bro. nod.gif

Hey everyone. Went to klang today to check out some rims. Found a 16 inch advan rim..and planning to use a 205/45/R16 falken tire on my 1.5 wira a/b. Will there be ALOT of difference in fuel consumtion? icon_question.gif

It will decrease if u buy lightweight 16" rim hence FC decrease. If normal 16" of course slighly increase la. How much increase god know..
