If you drive a BMW M car, an Audi S car, a GTR, GTFO, this is not applicable for you.

Not intake
Not exhaust
Not suspension

Tyres

Don't mean the biggest rim you can fit with the cheapest low profile tires.

If you want budget rims, get Advanti.. adik OZ Racing. Stick to 15" for cheaper rubbers, BUT, newer tyres are all coming in 16" and 17" upwards...that's the trend moving forward. I'm sticking to my 15".. I buy 4 donuts..other people can only buy 2 1/2... I not so rich, tyres are wear and tear.

ARB, period..
useless when the tires can't grip and slip. whatever ARB, adjustable suspension, magic sauce, put nankang tires..end up in longkang also.

RPF1 mahal o.

Yes totally agree again. ARB was one of the last mods I did on my car as well. When I got my car, the first things I changed was sport springs, tires & rims all practically done at the same time. Then start getting used to the handling like that first before I decided what I want to improve then add ARB, strut bars and others. The tires are the costliest of my mods also.

Hahaha yeah I know, just poisoning him, but at least still cheaper than forged Rays.
Or like you said just settle with Advanti or Enkei Tuning then.

If can find one of these will be the best but will cost the bomb!

Frankly speaking, save money on rims, go balls out on the tyres. Buy the best you can afford for your usage. if your car is a garage queen, can get Advan AD08. If its daily driven to work, RE003 is a good compromise.

Extreme category have but in wet drive slower.......:driver::biggrin:
What extreme category for 195/50 R15? Come intro some tires.

I asked last week while I was at Weng Tat SS14, 195/50 R15 RE003 RM212 w/GST, PS3 RM265 w/GST

Exactly, if budget limited like mine, prioritize more of the budget for tires instead of rims but unfortunately I see most people are the other way around, care for image and style more!

Hankook RS3, Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Spec, and Toyo R1R supposed to have 195/50/15. Or upsize a bit to 205/50/15 then can use AD08R also.

My car no garage queen. Daily drive to work.
Thats why lorrr.....I ask. Stick with 15", if have Tyre can perform more or less than ps3.
So, I can switch that cheapo rpo1. This time I want to search for ori rims.
Just wanna confirm, if 15" have good Tyre to match in future.
Later danggggg.....performance Tyre support 16".
double hole and pressball.

I had a Saga and had met an accident recently til the right side of the front bumper torn down a bit with the hood dented. A friend of mine who drove a Viva just now, just drove up a concrete pole leftover in the grass while parking and had the left side front bumper misaligned with minor scratches. So now, I'm asking sifus around if I am to make my car and my friend's around how much will it cost? One thing for sure, my bumper screw tube already pecah and so i suspect on my friend's car...
