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? ...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.

lenso, advanti are good taiwanese brands IMHO..but u get whay u pay la..i'm also planning to change my rim...btw what is ur budget??

currently using titan racing...quality not bad..at least better den jrd....

well,budget not more than rm1400..coz from my understanding, tyres are d most important ones to be considered...i juz want a decent sort of rims actually..planning tot rade my neo oem..

almost gotmyself a lenso tho..hehehe..so far how do u rate this taiwan n thailand rims?

i tot lenso is frm japan..y is it that ppl say it's made from thailand?

hmm..most taiwan brand the new one are above rm2k...not sure about the pricing now tho..that was few months back... oem pulak...er..no idea. but rm800 above can get already.. got one design same like SSR c2. the brand is ICE. gud luck bro!

thanks bro for the info..but at sunway,when i survey at teck ming, the price now for 16 inch is say from 900 to 1400...if i trade in my oem rims, should get lesser la..but this brand call ICE, izzit ok?they got pretty nice design also btw..

lenso is NOT from japan... and lenso is NOT from taiwan....


its from thailand.

n lenso makes very good rims


huh??? above 2k?? since the beginning of taiwan rims flooding the market i have never seen any taiwan rims above 2k even for brand new... how many inch u talking about??? 18 n above??

yes ke bro?i went into the website got japan wan..oh did i miss out sumthing there...
if u guys help me out today, after ofis hour i might head to the rims shop..hahaha

i juz scared only la this so called imitation rims..but looks like most user dun have problems with it...

if want better price better go at Klang..many choice..just ensure the rims not too heavy, if not affect your FC just like me..

did consider to go to klang,but then again, i aint a racer,juz to make my car cantik a bit...but those taiwan rims are quite light weight bro..serious..especially the lenso samurai models...imitation wan la..not japan wan..i guess d price for taiwan rims should be aound d same la..correct me if i'm wrong ya..

my rim is from ICE

Lenso is from thailand. ? i thought from US ? coz they produce most for european car only.Correct me !

so, how do u find ICE?
ICE is from where?
how much did it cost u?

sorry ahliew, i had to get certain clarifications on rims,especially taiwan rims..hehehe

This brand all heavy weight champion leh..

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

i've done balancing last 2 months & found that 3 rims bengkok, 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.... will feedback to you tomorrow

where the best place to find rims?? Klang or Rawang?? anyone advice?

thanks bro..u've helped a lot..dun forget to ask him d reliability of these rims..if pakai for suke2..and nk cantik..ok or not..things like that la..

how old already ur rims bro btw? if more than a year, i guess normal la rite?with our road very bad..guess rm1k for ur rims should be fine...

2nd hand rim is ok but the tyre must be new...

no thanks..dun want 2nd hand japs..very darn expensive..can mati ooo..

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.

To me, if the rims can tahan say 3 years should be ok la..dun la so cap ayam rite..hehehe..i know wat u pay is wat u get..hehehe..

ngam ngam 1 year lor... then i do checking on the rim & tyre mar... found that 3 rim bengkok no wonder the steering was shaking at high speeds....

so must always check the condition of the rim & tyre yearly

Added on March 24, 2009, 4:52 pmevery rim can tahan lar... depends how the owner take care of it.
depends on the driving pattern, how often servicing was done & the thickness of the tyre used.

Is Taiwan rim considered replica? Is OEM rim like JRD, Titan Racing better than those taiwan rim?

wat abt titan racing? im using it for almost 2 years...

Some of the Taiwanese rims are replica but not all. For example you can get Volk Racing look alike Taiwanese made rims = replica.

ICE = BSA = local.

I heard that all TR are heavy weight.

Mn...... I want to ask, it is ICE's rim looks like aluminum color?

I'm using Cesam wheel, donno from where. 16" lighweight is RM1080, if normal one cheaper, at around 850. The shop is at Klang.

how about SSW rims ?

Stamford Wheels

is this considered aluminium colour?

I think it's not necessary since there are so many models.

Rim yes but lock nut is hyperblack

So, r this replicas reliable?i mean d advanti's and lenso 's replica..

I think u dun need to replica lenso as it's not expensive to own the thailand rim lenso. 17" only about Rm1550 at Jalan Kapar.

well,i dun think i wanna go to jln kapar..to far tho..
to me,spending on rims up to rm 1600, to me seriously x point..takut kene curi bro...

u can change the rim, but dun change the the tyre nipis type one lah, dun use too large inch one is ok one, if the tyre too nipis, haha, after using that then u will know the "benefit".....

ok..u guys got any replica taiwanese brand which is quite good d quality?

Hi guys..i really need your advise and opinion. Actuallyt i want to buy a new rim for my honda CR-V 2009. I went to survey2 wheel shop@sunway area and this one shop offered me rm9500(before discount) for 20inch wheel. So after i runding2 with him he gave me rm7k with new tyre TOYO brand (ori from japan) and he told me the tyre is rm9++. The rim i chose its a VIP style and chrome. It really nice and i want it but the problem is my friend told me that if Chrome wheel, esp made in Taiwan, it easily peel off or terkupas lor.. I did ask the wheel guy and he told me that is if from m'sia or if kena spray. Hmm, am confuse bro..which i should believe? Plss help me to solve my problm. Thanks for ur help guys

have u tried at Teck Ming?it's cheaper i guess..maybe they can offer u a btter price and quality of rims..
coz when we talk about sunway area, most of the stuff there are kinda expensive..to me lar..

btw, why are u using the 20 inch rim?standard one 20 inch izzit?

Lenso from Thailand la...
go check with their main site..
where got from Japan or US or europe etc..

btw, i would suggest to u to get Lenso or Advanti rim..
the quality quite good actually compare to other taiwan rims brand..

I went to Teck Ming but hmm..they take my original rims with low price oo. and not so many choice there (esp, vip@chrome wheels) no, the crv standard rim is only 17inch lor..Act am thinkin of buying a japanese or italian rim (esp, OZ brand) but very expensive. can't afford laa

wah change to 20" rim then tires also premium price lo... RM900 per tire only??? wat tire is that???

spoon rims ok what..

well, i tot ori rim doesn't mean it's from Japan right?
if x from japan, jz change only la..u try and bargain la with the fella...
then again, why not go to KLANG?

I just trade in my rim at Teck Ming yesterday. Got myself a 15" Lenso rim, previously using 17" Works. Lenso Rim is light weight, good quality, reasonable price and most of all love the design too, almost took me 30mins to choose. Price range for Lenso is from RM799 (promo range) onwards to 1K+ the latest design the more expensive. Remember to get a set of good tyre as well don't compromised the only thing that hold on to the ground.

rim newbie here! i juz switch my ori rim to taiwan sport rim... from 14" (175/65R14) to 15" (195/55R15)... to me, in terms of quality, i dont mind the rough surface, as long as its durable... tats my definition of quality...

but been reading some reviews and articles bout taiwan rims, some say so negatively... makes my kinda worry bout safety issues...

guess i will try to avoid potholes and dont speed on road anymore... especially malaysian roads are full of unleved surface... hope it can last for years n years...
