Hi Bros,

 

After much months of waiting and anticipation.. finally changed my stock rims fr 14" - 16". Got it done in JB though .... got a 16" Rim wif Falken ST115 205/50/16 for abt $970 SGD... Izzit a good buy ah ?? but as when i compared it to prices here in Spore..its abt the same or Spore prices are a bit higher leh.....

 

If u guys are gonna tell me im being rip off or something pls do it nicely hor... may not be able to take the truth... kekkekek

[Wiredchaos]

what brand are your new rims?

 

errr.. a taiwan Rim lor.. but really liked the design so i got it....

[Soya]

johorians come over to SG to change rim but u opposite....??

[Acemundo]

why huh? singapore rims cheap meh?

[Soya]

taiwan rim + falken tyre both imported leh. anything imported is usually more ex in MY than in SG.

[Acemundo]

i see.....means they got bigger tariffs than sg.

 

i only knew sg electronic and computers are cheap........now i learnt something new

[Soya]

that's the beauty of a strong S$.

 

if buy rims in m'sia, go for JRD & simex tyres. that'll be be cheaper than SG.

Okie, i'll try to put my message in a nice way.... imported goods are more cheaper in Singapore than M'sia... get it?

[Gadgeter]

"...true hor, especially since sg import so much raw material. "

 

You mean singapore got manufacture rims and tyres meh?

[Acemundo]

hor, sg have little raw materials aka natural resources.

 

that's why MAS wants to have strong dollar because with the advent of manufacturing activities here, lots of raw materials have to be purchased from outside singapore, it would make sense to have strong dollar

[Acemundo]

no lah, i mean in general raw materials, not those for rim manufacture.

 

as explain above, sg have little natural resources so we import quite a lot as we are a country with sizeable manufacturing activity in the past.

[Gadgeter]

but, but soya was talking about.." if buy rims in m'sia, go for JRD & simex tyres. that'll be be cheaper than SG.."

 

Then you said:"...true hor, especially since sg import so much raw material..."

 

That's why I'm confused..

[Soya]

orrh....now i see the light.

[Acemundo]

hee....sorry lah, when i talk i tend to take short cuts.......

 

i was actually referring to his sentence abt the strong dollar and imports.......

[Gadgeter]

kekeke.... got to be concise in your post mah... else people will be blur when they read... kekeke
