17 inch dillemma

[erickdpogi]

Good day to all!

recently, i bought an 07 honda civic 1.8V m/t (that's all my budget could afford for now), and i want to replace the current mags sized R15 with 17 inch mags to make it look better (for me). But my budget only tells me that i only have 30-34k+ that is if i'd swap the bnew stock ones(all 5 pcs.) mags and tires with additional money of course. I check on my suki tires and mags shop in binan, and they told me that i can get FEDERAL Tires that can fit 17" for 4,500/pc (too high?).

anyway, are there trustworthy shops that can/may and is eager to give a good swap with my stock ones at at a higher prices. thank you!

any recommendation will be appreciated.

Better to sell them via private transaction. Most shops will try to buy lower than they can sell. Try selling them here or at one of the Honda clubs and see if you get a bite.

Thanks sir niky, another question: majority of known civics prefer 18s over 17s. I just got back from evangelista and they were offering me nankang tires w/c fits 17s for 3400/pc.? should i get it or go stick with those federal tires? thanks!

accellera is higher than nankang yata sir. plus mas reliable ang accellera. may mga history nga daw ng sabog ang nankang.

For budget tires, Accelera (Indonesia) or Full Run (China). Nga lang, parang mas malambot ng konti yung pisngi/sidewall ng Full Run. If your budget permits and/or if the roads on your regular route are ok, go for 18s na.

Sir, san ba mejo mura mura ung accellera? usually route ko lang naman is (from alabang kasi po ako) makati, c5 to UPD(school), slex magallanes to calamba stretch to anywhere in laguna to UPLB(school) kano po ba ang range price ng 18s? kasi nagcanvass po ako ng 17s na bnew and rota, 24k karamihan ng mga shops sa evangelista. Thanks sa replies! keep em' coming!

pre, try to ask the prices sa minerva tires alabang sa tires, imho. federal tires eh maingay specially at high speeds.

agree ako sa suggestion ni niky to have it sold privately.
