Guys, i need ur opinion. since i've decided to change my rims, i was thinking about taiwan rims feedback.are they good n reliable rims? smile.gif ...i mean, put aside jap rims coz they r expensive.izzit ok to buy imitation taiwan rims like lenso, advanti etc and put it on our car?since most ppl say d malaysian road are bad,should we change or maintain with the stock rims?

really appreciate if you guys can lend me a hand ere.i've been googling and searching threads that could help me on such information. Thanks. smile.gif

i bought it for RM1000 17" for 4pcs
basically if the tyre is very thin, the rim will bengkok also lar... laugh.gif especially the roads in M'sia wink.gif

i've done balancing last 2 months & found that 3 rims bengkok, doh.gif the dent is not visible to the eyes but only visible during balancing - high speed rotation, spent RM80 to fix per rim + balancing + alignment.

taiwan rims ar...? i need to ask my foreman in Johor wor.... hmm.gif will feedback to you tomorrow

There's nothing wrong with Taiwanese rims but of course, the quality might not be so good. Used rims are definitely an option as long as it's not badly dented, damaged, etc.
