bro ,

nice deep dish ! taiwan should be ok . as I understand it, they are made of better
material & lighter compared to the local ones .

cheers !

bro nice rims....how much u paid for them? and need to fit the cones to make it fit properly?

also any diff in FC and performance with the 18's compared with the prev 17's?

 

[andrewk]

Thanks for your comments guys.

Integramania:- Swapped with my prev set for 2k. Came with Toyo TR 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rears. Had to put spacers and longer bolts (using merc bolts), but fits the cones well. Still got a bit of rubbing in the front which I need to sort out.

Still on my first full tank after converting, so FC data will have to wait. But cornering stability has improved.

bro if u had to do that means its for the 3 series? do u know the offset?

 

[andrewk]

Intergramania: Offset is 34. My previous ones were 20. U are rite, it was previously from a 3 series.

Finally finish my first tank post new wheels. My fuel consumption remains unchanged. RM150 (55.56ltrs) got me 415kms (previously around 400 - 420kms before lights come on), which is abt 7 - 7.5kms per liter for mixed city and h/way drive.

Thats good...are these new rims light? i guess pick up also is the same....tempting...hehe

 

[andrewk]

I think wheels are lighter than my previous ones, which explains the fuel comsumption. Pick up "feels" slightly better though, but could be just me. Most obvious improvement is the handling.
