[kerek2]

Ello everybody..

Just want to get any idea for my waja ...changging a sport rim..maybe 17..any idea to help me?..tq

yah yah... 17" will looks good... hope ur FC wont suffer... hehehe....
try to get lightweight ones... avoid JRD, they are heavy....

Any particular design you like? Or how many spokes you like whether thick or thin types? My suggestion for Waja is 5 or 6 thick spokes or 8 and above spoke for thin types. Also have to see your colour of the car to match up the rims.

 

[kerek2]

mmm....i like thin one..maybe 6 spoke...any suggestion for design?...my waja in dark (black) colour...tq...ekekeeke..

try the volk replica ones.

Hmmmm... colour wise I know you should go with darker rim... black or bronze or gun metal? If you want neutral colour would be silver or machine grind. Design wise I say Volk TE37 looks good or the Volk GTN. If you like many spokes and thin would be CE28 or Oz GT? Anyway, that is just my 2 cents what rim would look nice in my opinion.... there are lots more but cannot remember the names...

like this ......if compare the PROTON SAGA LMST sport rim heavier or JRD 15" or 16" heavier?

Anyway, with rims... if you are not racing then weight of the rim does not matter much... how much fuel can you save just having a rim a bit heavier and tyres a bit wider... unless you got way beyond 17, then you are asking for trouble... my cousin's 17 works fine... FC is ok if you dun accelerate suddenly... But tyres are going to be freakin expensive for sure...

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

well... ermm... haha... not sure ler bro...
but i weighted 15" JRD sport rims and my current Kspeed 15" rims... my taiwan rim weight much lesser than the JRD....

besides, bigger rims equals higher rolling resistance...

 

[stockish]

my suggestion is try to look for 15" but find those which is far more lighter from your current rims ...this will improve your FC and your acceleration!! petrol nowdays very expensive!!..anyway this is just my opinion..good luck mate on your findings..

 

[gohkokeng]

lol then what is the cheapest(reasonable), lightest and durable RIM brand?

any1 can recommend any brand so that i can go search search and do research

 

[stockish]

you can try volk or enkei..

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

magnesium rims...

 

[gohkokeng]

magnesium rims...

magnesium? what is that? a brand or some kind of material of the rim?

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

material ler... not brand... damn damn expensive... F1 cars using magnesium rims....

 

[gohkokeng]

material ler... not brand... damn damn expensive... F1 cars using magnesium rims....

lol i mentioned CHEAP(REASONABLE) leh.......

 

[stockish]

then go to klang, Jln Kapah ...got a lot of good rims you can find there at a reasonable price, if you willing to walk into each rim shop there, i'm sure you can also find second hand branded rims..but make sure you check the rims carefully before buying it..

 

[kerek2]
