Was wondering if it is possible to buy the 17 inch stock (from same model, but higher spec) from AD? Just go to any tyre shop like south east tyre or Leong Seng, they should have stock from people who trade in. Much cheaper than you get it from agent. You can also make sure they are free from kerb rashes. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ka_kia 1st Gear September 20, 2019 Share September 20, 2019 Nothing fancy but is an upgrade over the stock 16inch. SSW 17inch paired with Continental PC 6 Tyres 😙 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinceng Turbocharged September 20, 2019 Share September 20, 2019 (edited) I see many upgrade from stock 195/65R15 to 215/45R17 or 225/40R17 Looks cool, but you must be prepared for a harsher ride, higher fuel consumption, sluggish performance and accelerated wear & tear to your shock absorbers & springs, and engine mountings, plus a much more bumpy ride due to the thinner tyre side walls. Think about this - the 2000cc Volvo 240 uses 185/65R14 stock tyres. Why would a 1600cc require ultra broad 225/40R17, at the expense of the setbacks mentioned above?

Othello Supersonic September 21, 2019 Share September 21, 2019 haha .... My past 2 ex-cars. One 18", one 15". Comfort level = sama sama. Another one, 15-17" + lowered, marginal increase in FC. Harsher ? Perhaps, but everyday driving is such a joy Life is short, change rims nia mah say so much .... Happy tio ho ! By same logic, why would anyone want to eat Sio Bak knowing it is fatty, salty and high in cholesterol ? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My spouse is tasked with these chores. I don't drive to work and am chauffeured to work daily in a Mercedes Benz..... bus 😁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caved into buying new wheels and getting the same wheels, TSW Bathurst in gloss gunmetal next week. 20x8.5 with Michelin ps4 suvs or latitude sport 3s. Assume you also bought from pitstop? Was originally looking to get the tsw clypse wheels, but I wasn't so fond of the colour options and weight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted black wheels at first and was considering this for quite some time due to its gunmetal. Like the design so just go for it, turn out it is better than what I expected. Like the slight concaved design for this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of black wheels and wanted silver/titanium wheels. For me, gunmetal came across as too dark in pictures. But when I saw a set at Pitstop, the colour was actually much lighter than I thought and quite liked it. Whereas the TSW Clypse in titanium finish look too bright and silvery. My wheels are also going on a red car as well and yours is looking good! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sample 17” Bathurst they have there tbh doesn’t really appeal to me. now if I were to choose again lll choose gunmetal over black anytime. thanks for the compliment, do share ur ride once your wheels is up!

Got $1k off after trade in where stock wheels are 18" with Toyo's. Given I've seen 20" Michelins sell for $520+ each, I figure the price wasn't so bad.
