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. |

QUOTE(Barrack @ Sep 6 2009, 06:23 PM)  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 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?  |
