Hitman Neutral Newbie October 14, 2003 Share October 14, 2003 You have to look for a couple of things :- 1) Budget : Lighter rims means more $$$$ 2) Look : The rims would transform the look of the 323. For closer spacing between the arch and tyres, use the correct tyre choice which is 195/55/R15 as your current 14 would be 185/65/R14. I use 195/50/R15 for specific reasons to my own liking. 3) If you buy new rims, be prepared for at least S$1K into the rims with tyres. Some shops do trade-in (but dun expect much) to offset your purchase price. 4) If you use the correct tyre size as (2), your speedo would be fine. Mine is a bit out as such that when I travel at 100 kph, my actual speed is 97.5 kph (or somehwre around there). 5) Fuel Consumption : Fuel consumtion might go up if u use heavier rims as the engine needs more power to rotate the rims .... I thought so in my case un til I discovered my rims are lighter than the originals so I save on Fuel Consumption. 6) Offset : You rims must be of the correct offset .... if I remember correctly , the correct offset is 40. I dun have a pix of my rims as I dun have a digital camera with me .... but u are more than welcomed to view them during meetups. Come on down bro , we can talk more then. I never took a ride on a 323 1.3 before, maybe you can give me a ride. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen_fan 2nd Gear October 14, 2003 Share October 14, 2003 Hi thanks for inviting me to join the weekly meet-up. But i noticed that the meet-up is fall on every Friday after 10pm, which I'm unable to make it. (because i work late every Friday). As i not really know much about car, your advise will serve as a useful guide to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
