    Been a long while.

    Mejo na tempt ako mag mod ng wheels, sa city 2005 ba pede tong mga wheel at tire specs?

    17" x.7.5 (4h/100), specifically Rota Blitz Sport:




    at 205/45/R17 (mahal kumho at 20k 4 pieces? Federal daw mas mura? What about Michelin?)

    Now ask ko lang, sa Roadstar, may calculation silang ginawa based sa stock tires ko (175/65/R14), they came up with 205/40/R17 para wala daw rubbing? Di ba masyado matagtag ang 40?

    Lastly, eto magiging itsura:

    hehe

    di ko alam kung hyper silver or gunmetal and magiging maganda. Ano tingin nyo?

    Thanks sa anu mang inputs/opinion.

    Rim design looks nice on a City but the offset of the rims would prove critical to determine if you'd encounter rubbing issues.

    PS. The tires would likely have to be 205/40R17

    *Benz, yeah that's what Roadstar came up with. The girl who did the calculation said I could use 205/45 IF my stock were 185/65. I just want the extra 5 rubber, hoping for a little comfort.

    *dopamine, that's not a typo, is it? R16? Are u suggesting i just use 16" rims or make an r16 tire fit in a 17" mags? lol, di ba parang pinipilit mo ang w30 na pantalon sa 35 waistline? hehe

    *PSI, unga eh di ko ba alam kung bakit na obsessed ako sa wheels lately. Ang personal policy ko sa kotse e kung walang silbi o function ang accessory or add-on, wag munang gastusan. The way I look at it, it's really just aesthetics (unless there's really something about upsizing wheels, an advantage or pros, I am not aware of). Pogi points lang, lol.

    Anyway, thanks so far sa inputs. Anyone else, feel free to share your 2 cents. Peace.
