    Welcome to TSikot Forums!

    The existing rims look good and the size is massive (vis-a-vis rim diameter). Ok din yung pagka-flush sa wheelwell. I'd say retain those and save the money for it's maintenance. Remember, you bought a 16 year old pick-up. You'll never know what needs repair (unless you know in detail the seller and the maintenance history of the truck). If my assumption is right, it would be best that you have the pick-up thoroughly checked by a reputable shop or mechanic. Have all fluids drained and replaced new (particularly the engine oil for that is the "lifeblood" of any diesel engine.

    At the most, have the chrome rims (is it?) polished para mas makintab.

    Congratulations on the purchase!!!

    original size for this model is 195R14 yata, most pick ups of these model and 2wd fuegos use 235/70R15. But looks like the pick-up has been body lifted, if so the existing tire size is ok, but then its a bit sluggish on acceleration.

    +1. The bigger the rim/tire is, the heavier the vehicle become. Ergo, keep it that way for it looks nice on your Fuego. (and what the heck! It's a TRUCK for crying out loud!)

    You're in the Philippines!!! Walang imposible dito. Tyaga lang sa cleaning/polishing at baka madale na dun yung rust stains. If not, I know a shop in Mandaluyong who specializes in rims restoration. As in MAGALING! Madaming taga ibang forums, old schoolers mostly, who bring their literally rotten rims and bring them back to brand new state. Mura pa sumingil.

    Guy's name is Tonton and his contact number is: (0917) 3543963.

    Yes, that tire brand is very good. For one, I have been using those on my Trooper since 2005 and have been (since) satisfied. Made in Japan.

    From my knowledge, Concept One (aka Wheel Gallery) is the official distributor of Nitto / NeoGen tires in the Philippines. If proven true, they should be more flexible in adjusting the price.
