    Peeps,

    Need your advise on what rims and tire specs that would fit my 07 Ford Focus Hatch (Silver) - 5Hx108

    As you know, limited lang ang choices to the following:

    All Concept 1 models :
    Velbret (17" & 18")
    Chase (17")
    Neo (18")
    Genesis (18")

    Stock is a size 16" rims - I'm worried kasi baka matagtag and maging heavy ang handling if I change my rims/tires but I also wanted to put more "personality" sa ride ko.

    Some shops gave me a 215/45/17 or 18 na specs. OK ba yun? hindi ba sasayad sa fender?

    Thanks in advance

    I'd go for 17 inchers...

    Go with the Velbret design, it doesn't look as common as Chase.

    The Neo looks the weakest of the choices.
    Personally I'd go for the Genesis.

    Thanks for the reply guys.

    My short list is really down to the velbret and genesis. My only concern with the genesis is its only available at 18" - I'm worried with our road condition here in Manila might be "too careful" driving around

    What tires (and size) can I use? I was advised to use 215/50/17? Brands available are:

    BS : P6,900*
    Nankang : P4,500*
    Dunlop : P5,300*

    Any other choices?

    you might also want to consider the counterpart of Velbret... Rota Bella 17"... it's much cheaper compared to Concept One... i'm using Dunlop Le Mans LM 702. hope this helps

    CO Genesis.. Ang dami nang Focus at M3 na naka Velbret. Yung tires, Dunlop Le Mans LM702, Direzza DZ101, SP Sport MAXX, SP Sport 01. Nasa budget mo nalang kung anong pipiliin mo.

    Magkano pala yung Genesis na 18'' at 15''?

    thanks!
