The Wheel Dilemma .. with a new ride ..do you

actually it depends, if the stock rims are okay, i say just leave it. cars such as bmws/lexus/mercedes.. i'd rather leave em as stock and not change the rims & tires..

 

but for e other jap cars(ie. honda/toyota), i would change e rims/tyres.. depends really. sometimes 15inch just looks too small.

Unless i wanna upsize my rims else will jus leave it as stock

[Cyberet]

for me, it depends on the profile of the rims that comes with it, will upsize if its higher than 55, so tyres that range tend to be more for comfort, and those tyres don't really suit my driving style.

[Toalson]

I wont change unless I feel unsecure with them, which I was on my stock. Fyi I only change the stock after a year on them.

[Slee]

Agree .. quite a waste to change immediately unless wan to upsize rims. Perhaps drive one year then change ?

 

Another possibility is they dun provide rims !

Okay. I am the 3rd fella who will be going to hang myself.

That's scary

usually the stock rims are not very good/nice lor.... but no need waste $$ lah. i used them until nuah liao...i'm now looking to upgrade my rim n tyres

[Sturtles]

Yup. Because the jap and korean cars do not come with their stock rim design... most are by aftermaket rim manufacturers like yhi etc.. As such their stock rims don't really look good with the car itself, depending on the taste of the owner

[Ml2spin]

Very subjective - depends on what new ride you got and what stock rims/tyres.

 

For me, was happy to use stock tyres but sold off stock rims and bought aftermarket ones to save some unsprung weight and to personalise the car.

[Spikedoll]

i changed mine on the 2nd or 3rd week after collected my car coz stock rims are ugly and 14" nia

 

changed rims & tires..yes can fetch better price too for newer tires

 

talking abt this..time to do my tire rotation..

anyone know where to trade in tyres beside PH?

[Super4]

The shop in front of PH...think its called Soh Brothers?

[Jerrylee]

Hey chaps, just went to stamford today to do a check...apparently, my front rims are not even anymore meaning that there are parts that jerked out and hence making the steering wheel vibrates when it's travelling at high speed (round 100km/hr).

 

Am looking at changing my rims to 16/17 inch and trading in the old ones. Anyone got any shops to recommend? Cheap and good pls! )
