Mags for Honda City : 15 or 16 ?

Ingat sa pagpalit ng mags...avoid wheels with offsets lower than +45. Sasayad sa fenders ang mga ganyan. Word to the wise.

go 15 and slap on thicker tires (50+).

sa umpisa ka lang matutuwa sa bigger rims. i used to have 17s with 40 series tires. i got to a point that i didn't want to drive a little more careful (especially when going fast in metro manila roads) in exchange for the porma points.

The bigger the tire the more contact on the road surface your engine works a little bit harder and of course it needs gas to power up. There is a diff but not that much, just avoid gunning your engine.

Kasya ang 17s. A lot of the Jazz-City United people ride on 17s.

I do caution you to GET WHEELS WITH OFFSETS GREATER THAN +45. I'm putting this in all caps because it's IMPORTANT. Anything less and your fenders will eat your tires. Chalk that up to the Jazz/City's suspension design.

kasya nga 18" inch mags sa Honda jazz the tires lang nga will be 215/35/18 series. manipis yung tires.
For 16 inch mags try to get the tires with the highest height diameter preferable 50 series para you wouldn't be too nervous when hitting potholes.

hello!

i'm also planning to get a 1.3cvt 2nd qtr of this year! however i already did alot of research on the car (thru tsikot feedbacks) before finalizing my decision. there really isn't alot of things to be worried about the city. its a pretty good buy for the buck you spend. the only things you may need to check would be fitment of the rubber moldings/seals aroiund the doors, hood, trunk, etc. check the all around exterior for minor scratches on the paint.

i did a test drive today of the 1.5vtec cvt demo unit (no 1.3 demo fyi) and i really like the smoothness of the cvt! i'm sure you won't regret having one. however, please do not expect a very compliant ride (eg starex) coz the city is very light and has a mildly firm suspension tuning, so cornering at speed is very nice and solid.

HTH. enjoy your new ride! please post your feedbacks...

cheers!
