LOL,

Sumtimes its not really 'fake' per se..
Lets talk Enkei for instance.. Enkei has factories all over the world .. but only those made in Japan carry the 'weight' of the brand tat we know.. meaning those tat are made in Taiwan n even Malaysia are 'fakes'..
BTW, there are outrite fakes from china too tat literally use de design n everyting but not d material/durability..
Of course other brands will have their own story to tell too..

Hi, any recommendation for myvi SE 2009...175/65/R14...not sure if upgrade to 15 inch have any benefit... need some advice... Thanks

Bro,

Wat 'benefits' are you looking for?

Rule of thumb of tyres..
the taller the sidewall [how high de rubber part of the tyre is] - de more comfortable it is , it'll absorb more bumps..
Downside is itll also be bad for handling..
So handling n comfort seldom go together when we are talking tyres..

afaik made in thai only... duno if ade china factory ke ape...

otherwise theres enkei tuning (original taiwan) and advanti which imo are also pretty decent...

Haha,

I oso dunno bro.. personally if l were on a budget, enkei taiwan sounds gud provided its lite.. as unsprung weight is an unsung hero's tale..
BTW.. reputable tyre/rim shops shld be able to tell u if they are selling fake/replicas , licensed rims or original stuf - at least they should - wat is worse is selling us fakes but charging us for de ori price..

if its a reputable store, should be alright... i mean they work so hard to build that rep... tak-kan-lah risk all that just for a a few hundred bucks.... there are a few reputable rim dealers here in lowyat... u can ask them about his i guess?
*
If in Pg, then I can recommend oso.. not familiar wif KL..
Agrd.. shops is de best to tell if its fake or othrwise..
I guess rule of thumb is if its price is too good to be tru ; then it is.. n its a fake..

hmm.gif enkei tuning is taiwanese based kan?? its not a 'fake'

Like l said - its not a 'fake' per se.. but most think, Enkei is Made in Japan so if there is any other makes - then its 'fake'..
But seller should inform on this to make matters clear.. AFAIK.. only Made in Japan carrys a premium .. all the others sell cheaper..

Depends on what size tyre you wanna fit.. if just 195, 6.5 is more suitable..

Is there alot of difference in Original taiwan rims and Original Japan rims?
Saw some shops in jalan ipoh selling original taiwan rims.

Just wanna know the difference
*
Depends..

On who u ask..
Visibly.. I guess there isnt much difference..
Horror stories are tat non-ori rims are inferior in strength and durability but my experience is it isnt so bad..

Jap ori rims are light and seemingly strong/durable - I m using 2 sets now on a jazz n civic..

I guess.. if u r on a budget n die die need the styling of aftermarket rims then Taiwan rims are fine..
but if you need the assurance then save a bit more..
