    Nothing bad with going there, pero 20's pre kung sedan ka eh matagtag na to da max yan sa nipis ng goma. If youre willing to deal with the tagtag, then go. Just be extra careful sa mga lubak and humps ng daan natin. Risks of getting bengkong and cracks on large wheels is typically higher.

    Fuel consumption naman, I guess it's on a personal basis or a by-car type of thing. Saken kasi from 14's to 17's difference si fuel consumption ko is unnoticeable. 9km/liter ako dati on 14's ngayong naka-17's almost ganun din.

    No sweat! Plus sizing can make your vehicle stand's out sa crowd. Hey!, why not, just aware too much plus on wheel size also make your brake failed, it can happen, but very few.

    Remember 20" inch wheel is not much protection on your wheel if you blown your tire, surely big damage on the lip. 19" is kind of good but tires are very few selection and they are expensive sometimes it cost more than the 20" tire. On the 18" very popular, tire too many selection plus excelent protection on the lip. Since there are too many pot hole in the philippines some are deepper than a bucket if you hit those one thing fo sure WASAK. Kaya advisable na kapag bumili ng set na rim kailangan bumili kapa ng isang rim na kapareho as a reserve, in any happen set parin ang wheel mo.

    Last thing. Know your offset of your car when doing plus sizing to avoid problem of rubbing the fender or the firewall. G. day.

    IMO, nag-canvass ako this month lang din nung bumili akong mags, parehas lang price for both Blumentritt and Evangelista. Kanya-kanyang diskarte lang yan kung paano mo mapapababa. If I were you though I'd go to BANADOS in Evangelista. If you're on EDSA southbound, derederetso lang until you reach Mantrade (or MRT Magallanes). May dalawang flyovers dun, daan ka sa going PASAY or the left-most side. Pagbaba mo ng flyover get ready na to go to the right-most lane. Pag makita mo na yung MCDo and Jolibee na pinaghiwalay lang ng kanto, pasok ka sa kantong yun mismo. Evangelista na yun. Go straight lang until you see a UNIOIL gas station on your left and BANADOS on your right. Look for "Ate" Aileen when you get there. I swear sobra-sobra discount if sa kanya ka makikipag-transact. Ultimo trade-in ng mags mo mataas. With free alignment and nitrogen pa yun (and yep, may 3months free refill pa yun)

    Sabihin mo na lang ni-refer ka nung naka-silver na Sentra na kakabili lang ng mags sa kanila. You don't really have to haggle with the price, siya na mismo magdidiscount para sayo.

    It's one of the big stores in Evangelista. Big meaning plenty of selections, not big in terms of selling price. hehe... I'd say you'd enjoy visiting the place. Evangelista may even give you a new place for scouting not only for mags but accessories for your adventure as well.
