Change to 18" rims happy for a while until scrape the kerb.

Go to Japan for $1k for a week

and have memories for a life time.

He will remember it long after after his car COE died

and the car got scrapped.

Last time (first and only) I also upgraded from 14 to 15 inch Enkei rims. Jin sak kee! I still can remember it was star shaped 5 spoke. So maybe should encourage him to change! 

Maybe everyone should replace their rims at least once to realise actually it's quite pointless.

Anyone know what bottle is this?

Made of super plastic or gorilla 1000 glass?

14 to 15 can feel the difference

and worth the change.

17 to 18 law of diminishing marginal returns kick in.

Genuine question, Brembo that cost $700 set is fake right especially from JB workshops that claim to be real. But it states from china so I am so puzzled if that is a steal or not.

alot of original , Brembo brakes pads are make in china.

and they are not cheap😅

[Jamesc]

Stupid car thief had to carry 8 bricks to steal people's tyre and rims.

Smart one just carry 2 bottles and maybe thirsty drank from them.

TE37 is Volks racing leh. $1,000 abit hard wor. 

If you can get at $1,000 for TE37, can you let me know also? we group buy!!!! 

$1000 per wheel? Possible bah! depending on your size? I got my Volks racing NE24 18x8J slightly above $1k per wheel

Fake la. Jiuhu Kia lagi cannot trust. 🤣

[Boomberx]

@macrosszero that’s fine! My tyres currently also from Thailand too LOL

[Boomberx]

@Beregond that true! Imagine buying brembo in Singapore but price at $2.5k and going JB for $700 and is exactly the same thing it really sucks

[2wiremodem]

OEM Brembo is considered as genuine right?

[Boomberx]

@2wiremodem yes that is what I am getting

[Boomberx]

@Beregond I might just get BBS rims instead and OEM brembos, should be around 1.2k roughly... including second hand michelin tyres.

Huh. If its me.

I rather go for cheaper tw rims like ssw. Kyowa. Avanti. And take fresh tyres instead.

( my personal choice.)

Brembos mean u gonna change the whole caplier port, disc rotor etc?
