ehehhe JRD lightweight? no no.. try other brand like advanti or kspeed.. if got more budget.. volk.. ssr.. sprint hart.. regamaster..

JRD is famous of their heavy rims. There are better local rims than JRD.

 

[esthapo]

JRD is d heaviest rim of all....If u want good cheap rims try advanti or 2nd hand japanese rims...
Yes lightweight rims does make effect in ur accelaration...feels abit lighter on cornering n accelerating.....

Rims n tyre choice depends on how u drive loh....Lightweight rims 4 better performance if ure speed devil....but bear in mind dat good things dont come cheap.....New Volk would cost bout rm6000-7000....Yokohama, Toyo n Bridgestone hav alot of ur choice 2 suit ur driving purposes....n nice thread too.....

gudluck bro in ur search.....

k-speed is not made in m'sia bro.it's made in taiwan.this wheel is quite durable.

 

[TitanRev]

Advanti is not bad. I used it once before 15 inch. rim is tough also. Hit a few potholes before but after sending to tyre shop for checking..no bent...

after a year using it upgrade to OZ Superleggera...terus feel the difference..damn light the rim...nice multi spoke design and tough also...Price is good too.

 

[BLaCkHoWLiNG]

save up for something better....

 

[m@ttz]

yup, wheels also like investment wat.. buy the one dat hav value n u will know it..

 

[Northiswara]

oh thanks bro..............

i thinking of getting the japanese rim from chop shop but not sure whether the rims are ok or not?

wat's the advise? getting a 2nd hand rim or getting from chop shop is better?

 

[esthapo]

Try lookout 4 sign of cracks @ grinding mark (rims hav been welded) behind d rim spoke....if got means dont buy loh....

 

[Northiswara]

thanks esthapo.........

anybody know there is a logo that means got meet the "light weight rim standard"??

 

[evoX2]

thanks esthapo.........

anybody know there is a logo that means got meet the "light weight rim standard"??

no "cert logo" for light weight, only certified safety requirements.

 

[szekeiemme]

lift it up wif ur hand to noe ...

 

[m@ttz]

yup, u hold it wit hand n u know..

no matter to get 2nd hand from chop shop or tyre shop but make sure no repaired done, check properly at all side, if got it from tyre shop (sometimes they had used japan rims also), u can ask them to test wit balancing machine, if they dont want to do, just leave it, surely got dent/damaged..

 

[Northiswara]

yeah...........
sometimes the rim bent a bit only even eye also canot see. need to use the balancing machine to test it out. the problem buy from chop shop or 2nd hand rim from user is canot use balancing machine to test it.

anywhere buy new rim is always the best option. no need worry and no regret but u can feel money not enuff........
