any idea where i can get real sport rims n not accessory rims? i m from seremban n u can neva get it here. i dont want those taiwanese or malaysian made rims. probably a japanese or italian brand. my knowledge on rims is as close to zero, so i would like to know if there r any good american rims in malaysia n where can i get it? good meaning that it must be strong n not bend or dent easily, light as possible n looks great. looks r not that important to me tho. looking for 2 sets actually. one for my kancil n another for my accord. a 13'' or 14'' for kancil n a 16'' for the accord. any recommendations?

sorr didnt mention it. its a 1982 accord SA6. lol... old car. where can i get them?

about the materails used its true. alloy rims r good enuf but i believe there are better ones. cant remember what they use. n i dont know bout looking at rims n telling when were they produced.

from seremban? then i invite u to our LYN Seremban gang..

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/836923

if u really want in seremban, i will recommend u 2 shops. 1 is in senawang. the biggest tyre shop in seremban. u know where? the dunlop tyre shop. the other one is in rahang. i think its michelin. if i am not mistaken, its on the right hand side of the road going into town, not Jalan Zaaba. the other one. i recommend u these shops cuz they have a lot of choice. others all very few. or i know another shop where i know the owner cuz i do my alignment thr all the time. pm me if u want la. maybe can try talk to the owner n get u a good price. but this shop is in lukut.

ppl say price is cheap in klang but for me its the same cuz when u go to the papan shop, they will quote the rims for a cheap price, then u must add this n that. in seremban n other places i checked, they quote u one price for everything u need from rims, tyres, wheel nut n all that la. but this is juz based on my experience.

seriously after reading through the info from mao2, i still dont get it. ntg wrong with the info but me. i dont understand how can the rim offset can prevent the tyres hitting the car on bumpy roads or when the car is lowered? can someone explain?

oic.. but my problem is that my tyres r hitting on the fenders on bumpy roads or when there is a heavy load. is there any way that the offsets, +ve or -ve can help? thanx.
