Everything below goes up:

1. Tagtag
2. Price of tires
3. Price for wheel repairs
4. Fuel consumption
5. Road noise
6. Unsprung weight, meaning, more wear on suspension components

ilang percent kaya ang increase sa fuel consumption?

Gentlemen,

Till now, I have not bought these wheels and tires yet. Sumakit ulo ko sa kakaisip......

Anyway, ginawa ko, yung budget ko na pambili, eh ginamit ko na lang sa ibang bagay.

I bought a pair of head light. Yung bang tinatawag na projector type o Angel eyes. Bumili rin ako ng 1 pair na tail lights. Yung Euro type. Eto mga sample.

Then I bought this new Kenwood HU na double-din, DPX-MP2090U.Tama ba itong naging decision ko? I put on hold muna yung sa wheels and tires. Siguro sa pag uwi ko na lang ulit sa May and December 2007.

Medyo nagbago yung looks ng old Accord ko. Medyo gumanda. Hayun, gamit ng family ko. Sila ang nag eenjoy.

Post ko dito next time yung looks nya now.

17's na lang. Laki ng difference ng cost ng goma going from 17 to 18. Kung itsura lang naman ang habol mo, have to agree with the previous posts. May mga design ng mags na malaki tingnan (usually if the spokes go all the way to the edge of the rim) so that a 17 might look like an 18. Get 215/50-17 tires. Di masyado mababago ang ride.

Sorry mods, mejo OT:

Bro, how much yung angel eyes at kenwood 2-din mo? San mo na rin nabili? Kasi, ako I bought na the 15-inch Rota Battle mags, hypersilver. Don't want to spend more on 17-inch tires (6k each!)and lowering springs cause I like the comfort of 15-inchers.

Yung headlights kasi ng 5th gen Accord, plastic ang lens, kaya over time, nangigitim...

Nabili ko yung head and tail lights sa Malugay St., dyan sa Makati. Specifically sa Jet Circuit. Eto phone nila in case na gusto mong mag-inquire, 813-6089/813-7355.

1 pair of Head light cost me P7,500 while the tail, cost me P4,500.

Yung Kenwood, nabili ko sa Blade Asia, sa 4th floor ng Market Market sa Fort Bonifacio. Look for Thess. Medyo mahal. P17,500. Maige pa eh mag-check ka sa Mickeys o ibang shops baka mas mura, kaya lang nuon eh hindi available. Medyo mahirap hanapin ito.

Please give a suggestion kung ano na mga uso dyan sa Pinas. Kasi, di na ako up to date dyan sa atin. Here in abroad, medyo late kami dito.

Sa tail lights, ano na ba ang lumabas na pumalit sa Altezza or Euro type?
