QUOTE(ah liew @ Dec 15 2008, 02:39 PM) madman, but will that be a hassle to carry around? or become more expensive.... sometimes they give discounted or package price if we buy rim + tyre.... & trade in too.... what do u think? hassle to carry...not really la....just put in the back seat or in the boot or watever la.... as for pricing...yeah usually will be cheaper... but if u REALLY want specific tires with specific rims... do u really have a choice? in my case... i drove for 5 hours 1 way alone just to get the rims i wanted.... then another day went to dunno how many shops looking for tires.... in the end i got wat i wanted and it was totally worth it. |

QUOTE(SleeplessEyes @ Dec 17 2008, 10:03 AM) So my question is a) the lower the profile the better for cornering due to lesser tire wall flex.a) does it actually improve cornering (and ) despite both the lower aspect ratio and lower profile tyres? b) Does it give a lower the car's height slightly, cause I see that the 2 tyres I mentioned, shows a lower Sidewall Height b) theoretically yes, but visually i think the difference might be too little to notice. |

The Advan RZ rim design looks pretty common and has been used for other brands before.....if im not mistaken one of the Mugens or Work or Volks rim had that kinda spoke design....
i still think the best looking rim to come out from Advan (although quite heavy) are the gold Advan RGs and i mean the first RG ...not RG-II me not really a fan of RG-II |

QUOTE(mao2 @ Jan 19 2009, 11:49 PM) huhuhu.. good stuff.. but usually the hardness of a rims is equal to its weight.. the harder and tougher the rims the heavier they get.. thats when VIA tells u how many weight/rim it can carry.. so i think local made are rims are heavy due to its hardness to withstand our roads (lots of potholes & uneven surface).. but people said local BHL have few of light weight rims..  are u serious??????????? i take it u've never heard of JRD??? n i take it uve never experienced Jap rims???  rim weight has NOTHING to do with rim strength watsoever. its the metal used and the forging/casting process that gives it its weight and strength. |

taiwan rims are bang for buck...
if ur in puchong....can head over to sunway... decent rims there.... try looking for Lenso brand if u can...theyre Thailand rims..not Taiwan but still very good and priced about the same as taiwan rims as for jap rims... can go to subang... near summit area theres some shops selling second hand jap rims... might be able to find one that suits ur liking and ur budget. |

please dont use the NCT5.. those tires are dangerous man...even my regular tire shop dont recommend using them (even though theyre selling them)
spend abit more on better tires...seriously Falken Ziex, Bridgestone MY-01 Hankook V8 or V12 etc heck...id even recommend the Silverstone Evol8 over the NCT5 (if they have it in ur size) |

QUOTE(firenos90 @ Mar 27 2009, 07:05 PM) NCT5 that bad ah? Taught its quite new and all. What about the goodyear F1? Its only about 20 bucks more than the NCT5.. the F1 is MUCH better than the NCT5....just make sure to check production date.although id recommend going with Hankook V12....these tires are new (and quite affordable) so u dont have to worry about production date QUOTE(hazlem @ Mar 28 2009, 12:24 PM)  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

eerr.....its PCD 114.3....got PCD114.5 meh??
but generally referred to as just "PCD 114" anyway...1 thing i noticed is that for jap cars...pcd100 is more towards general cars....their performance cars are mostly 114.3...especially in thhe case of hondas. n most old school rims...those deep dish types are 114.3...almost impossible to find 100.

QUOTE(jolipoli81 @ Oct 29 2009, 03:55 AM) so what are the pros fitting such a huge rims? cosmetic only? better handling mainly due to wider tires (more contact surface=better grip) and thinner side walls (lesser tire wall flex) |
