Ghostling Neutral Newbie December 23, 2003 Share December 23, 2003 (edited) Hello ABCDEFG72 , "which brand is the better one?" It all depends on what you are looking for in a tyre. performance? comfort? and budget. you can try stamford tyres for your rims. Good luck! just my 2 cents worth.

Vtim 3rd Gear December 27, 2003 Share December 27, 2003 Japan will be the most ex, follow by Taiwan then Malaysia make. you are driving Audi tt? if yes, than don't think there'll be much Japs rims for your ride Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmythos Neutral Newbie December 27, 2003 Share December 27, 2003 audi tt using stock 14"???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsoon Neutral Newbie December 27, 2003 Share December 27, 2003 (edited) ABC, not sure if you are refering to Audi TT but if you are, stock TT doesnt come with 14". Its either 16" for 180hp and 17" for 225hp. Tw/M'sia/Jp rims dont go well with TTs. Best bet is to go with the german ones such as ABT, Antera, Oettiger, BBS, etc. Try this link, you can find alot of nice looking mesh or multi-spokes for your TT. http://www.edgeracing.com/ERGALLERY4.asp?W...MO=TT&GROUP=124 Edited December 27, 2003 by Karsoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtlekar 2nd Gear December 27, 2003 Share December 27, 2003 bro, i tot i just saw your post in SHC where u hijack somebody's thread??? What has it got to do with TT coupe??? I'm getting a Jazz soon....if u want, can shop together for rim....Japan's rim is definitely but the price is very expensive....which i did a round at autobac this afternoon...average from 1200 - 3000 for 16", so i suppose it will be slightly lesser for 15" only.... Taiwan rim is replica, reasonably nice and light....and price is definitely cheaper alot as compare to Jap.... For Malaysia rim, frankly speaking no ideas at all.....all i know of is JRD (Johor Racing Development) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susacarimakan 4th Gear December 28, 2003 Share December 28, 2003 Hi TURTLEKAR, Wow! SIR to JAZZ CVT! Nevertheless, welcome to the JAZZ group! Me also considering rim/tyre change; still on KM's 14" alloys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtlekar 2nd Gear December 28, 2003 Share December 28, 2003 same here lah, but abit sayang to let go the alloy rim leh....somemore brand new tires....but i do know that if using the stock rim 175/14/65 i think cannot make it on wet road already cos minimal traction, but on the other hand, can save abit for new rim lah cos our rim trade in sucks big time....me planning to go for 16"....swee swee leh...
