    Thanks Mr_Big.. anong meaning ng 15 x 5 1/2 na rim? yun kasi naka lagay sa brochure. If bibili ako ng rim kailangan ba same specs para magamit ko yung tire? Nakikita ko kasi sa website ng rota 15 x 7. pasensya na po newbie pa me.

    It means that your rim is 15 inches in diameter (how big it looks) and 5.5 inches in width (how wide it is).

    The rim size dictates what kind of tires you can use. If you want 15" rims, you get 15" tires. Now, 15" tires come in a variety of widths - from 175/65R15 (narrow) to 205/50R15 (wide). You have to get 15" tires that are wide enough to accomodate your preferred 15x7 rim. Usually for 15x7, people go with 195/50R15 tires, but since you have a Mobilio it's better to have thicker sidewalls so maybe 205/65R15 or something similar would be optimal for you.

    you can check out the designs at rotawheels.com

    Widest rims you can fit on 185/65R15 tires are 15x6.5. Medyo mahihirapan ka diyan.

    Wheel/Rim Size Calculator - Shows acceptable rim width range for the tyre size

    Alternatively, you can just stick with your stock setup until you can afford to upgrade your tires along with your rims.

    Compared to 15's, definitely and by far matagtag, mabigat, prone to damage, etc. etc. Not sure sa prices ng DUB. But to give you an idea, a set of 15" replica wheels costs somewhere between 15-18k. Rotas will be somewhere near the price of replicas. Original 15" wheels will be around 30k and above.

    Personally I would prefer to just get rims of the higher end variant of the Mobilio, than get tiny 15" aftermarket rims.

    My general rule is to go 1-2" bigger than stock rims when upgrading. Otherwise parang sayang lang. Of course it's personal preference. Kung nagagandahan ka sa 15" Rota edi go ahead. Importante naman ikaw yung masaya

    Yup. That's the point. Kung same size lang din naman, OEM nalang. Weird talaga for me yung aftermarket na maliit. At least pag OEM na maliit ok lang kasi nga OEM-look naman.

    All Mobilios use 185/65 R15 tires too so rims lang talaga papalitan.

    Again, different strokes for different folks. I always go for subtle mods for all my cars, some people prefer otherwise.

    Ah I see. You called the 15" tiny kasi sir so I assumed you thought high end models have larger wheels. Sorry

    I hope you can still accommodate my comments sir. A couple of friends of mine, who used to race cars as a hobby & are verified car nuts, advised me against buying China or Taiwan replica rims. They said there have been numerous instances wherein those rims cracked or shattered. They always recommend Rotas or OEMs (maski surplus). Color na lang ang piliin mo. One popular color nowadays is Gun metallic. It does a good job of hiding scratches. As for your tires, your 185/65/15s have a diameter of 621 mm. For a better look & handling, it will be better to get a set that is a little wider, say 195 or 205 width. Just be mindful that you are within 3% of 621mm.

    BTW, as for the rim size, if your route takes you to areas that have lots of potholes, better stick to 15s. If you will still consider an upgrade, a 16" rim would make a lot of difference as far as looks is concerned & be better than a 17" as far as ride quality is concerned (& will also affect your suspension components).
