GO for OZ Superlegga! really light.

[Lawreo2002]

good for u

looks great

me need to look for 195/60/R15 to upgrade from 175/70/R14

 

heard that for G9:

 

ET must be ard 35-38 mm?

PCD must be 4-100?

 

problem is dunno these info can be found on the rims itself or not ??

[GDIzen]

I thot yr plus 1 size was 195/55/15 as with most Civics?

[GDIzen]

PCD - No

ET -YES!

[Lawreo2002]

almost went for the OZ superlegga this afternoon at LS

but decided to read up more on the ET and PCD thing ....scared to spoil my original setup

[GDIzen]

that's true, health is definitely more important than the car...anyway, lucky the car price drop, so paid much lesser for the mondy than the m6...

 

you going for the meetup next friday?

 

You mean you bought and sold an M6? Why so soon?

[Lawreo2002]

then how to determine PCD ???

fix wrongly how ???

[GDIzen]

I find LS exp. Maybe you should try South East or Yap Bros.

[GDIzen]

If the PCD is wwrong you can't even mount the rims onto the hub! The PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter which loosely means that the 4 or 5 bolts are based on a circle of diameter 100mm, 114.3 mm or other sizes...

You finally washed yr car?

Hi everyone,

 

I'm new here and would like to share my experiences upgrading the rim for my new C9...

 

Some shops did advised me to upgrade to 16" rims but I figured for a C9, that's probably an overkill. I may be wrong...

 

In the end, I settled for a 15" RM (Taiwan) rim and Bridgestone tyre 195/60/R15..think it's GT50!!?? Cost me S$550 to upgrade..is that reasonable?

 

Hope that helps...

thatz wat i plan to do

want to look ard ...not too rushed for such a big investment

 

LS is friendly and helpful but must compare price a bit

[GDIzen]

You mean G9 and tyre is ER50?

[Lawreo2002]

thatz wat i think too

nearly changed to 16" juz now because the OZ 16" quite chio

 

where did you do yr wheels with ??

[Oink]

ah..sorri sorri....G9 and probably ER50...i gotta check it out tho...

[Oink]

I did mine at South East...there's a shop in somewhere near Bukit Timah 7miles, which is very cheap..but there's not much choices tho...I was quoted S$170 for a OZ 15"..tho it's probably an older model...
