If it was repaired multiple times especially on welding due to a crack, the material has been compromised already. I would advise for you to get a new set of rims.

Yah. Better change new rims la. Already so bad condition liao. New rims is safer and more enjoyable to drive. Get 18" if you want better comfort and cheaper Tyres.

 

[wideawake]

Yes. Change to 18" better. But if the 19" tyres are still good, let me know. Hehe

Dont risk the chance of ur rim n tyre rolling past u at 110km/h.... get new rims, any rims if u care abt ur own safety...

Best to use RFT if you can afford it as the car was designed to run on RFT. The harder RFT will give you a better handling but at the some expense of comfort. Having said that, the latest generation of RFT is not as harsh as the older ones, giving you the right combination of handling and ride comfort. Besides handling, RFTs is more reliable, convenient and safer as you don't have to stop at the road side to change your tyre.

Best is to ask the shop, we can't see how much damage that was done to it previously. The shop might just sell it to the scrap yard as well. Yes, the 2nd hand original 18" rims are a good bet. Strong and hard, not so light but then again you aren't focusing on tracking the car so it is fine.

Normal tyres would be more comfortable but you probably need to invest in a spare tyre and tyre sealant, a portable pump and a car jack.

Get a new one bro, and avoid those replicas. The the original - much stable at high speed.

If u buy staggered rims, you can use this:

245/40/18 & 265/35/18

Or for 19"
245/35/19 & 265/30/19

Why the rear tyres height need to decrease by 5..??..

 

[wideawake]

Because this is ugly.
