[Cheekg99]

congrats on new ride, but when i see the photos cant help thinking i'm in bangkok

[Ahhan7]

the rim colour is matching the car's colour. but i think 6 spoke might be better.

[Hihi]

yeah... i like the color too. But i lazy la, chose this rim is cos later on easier for cleaning la hahaha...

[Tvios]

likewat justin said, most importantly u like it urself ...

[Hihi]

How you know where i got my rims from?

[Tvios]

thats wat he always said. The choice of rims there is limited though. I hope he gave u a good price...

[Josephtan1234]

when i drive straight on the E-way, i 'let go' of my steering, and confirm my car slowly drift to the left...

 

does this happen to cars that changes their rims???

 

Logically, it should not. Hope they gave you a good price that can cover your alignment.

[Pisces69]

btw, after i changed my rim, while driving, i found that my steering off alignment to the left abit leh... call up the shop and they say change rim is like that one, will off align abit, thus advise me to go to workshop to get it realigned back... (cost $30 for realignment)

 

is it true???[/reply]

 

Don't really know how far this is true but it's the first time I heard of it.

 

Changing rims sud not affect the alignment if the offset is same or close to the original which it sud b.

 

Since it's already done & your car is new, just spend another $60 to get a computerised 4 wheel alignment to confirm if everything is all right. The shop will b able to advise u if something is not right.

[Hihi]

anyone knows how much Stamford Tyres is charging for wheel alignments?

[Pisces69]

Sud b around that price but I don't use ST anymore. I tried them once but found their service very impersonal & the steering wheel was crooked after they did the alignment.

 

Had to go back & tell them to adjust it but was done in a rush & still slightly out even then.

 

I now use a shop in woodlands where the boss gives very personal service & explains everything in detail to me. I can ask him questions & get sensible answers not like ST.

[Mzrmazda3]

Bro, congrats Time to lup in some poison like KNN filter, iridium plugs, strut bars....etc

[Hihi]

bro, i stay in Woodlands too... can advise me on this shop of yours? What's the charge like for all wheel alignment?

[Pisces69]

Shop is creative trdg at 38 woodlands indl pk "E", #02-06. Multi storey bldg just b4 markool.

 

See Jimmy the boss. Costs $60 but try to bargain for $50. Tell him other shops charge this much also.

 

Maybe he can also advise u on your rims & tires but don't buy his Maxxis tires which he tries very hard to sell to everyone.

[Hihi]

any contact number?

[Nitrous]

how badly does it drifts? slight or very extreme.

b4 u spend the money on alignment, check the tyre pressure of all the tyres first. and do tt test on a real even road. if its very slight, no worries, coz almost all roads are aligned slightly to one side...to allow rain water to drain off. unless its pulling badly to one side, then u have a aligment problem.

[Nerd_on_wheels]

heh, You change the same rim as my colleague. his is the sporty grey 1.8 with full kit. how much you get yours ? can disclose a rouch figure after trade in ?

[Boy_vin]

[Hihi]
