**mackkcam** · February 10th, 2008 04:47 PM

HI tsikoteers,

Just want to ask if what mga dapat isama sa scenario (or gastos for short) kung magpapalit ka ng Mags + tires, what I mean is, suspension? or etc...

scenario is, naLubak ako sa isang munting hollowblock at nadiform lng ng Konting konti konti ung Mags at ang nangyare is nag iba ung takbo ng Car, at nag Otso ung ikot nung gulong na nalubakan, by the way, nabutasan ako ng tires at napaVulcanize na, Im not so sure kung sa tires nga ung problem or sa Mags, pero naiCp ko na lng na magpalit ng Mags... so could you help me out here please?

Car specs:
Ride: honda city Exi 97
existing mags and tires: 15" rota subzero + 195x55x15
Suspension: Stock

Balak ko kc mag palit ng mags same lng 15" at same sukat ng tires, also, san ba magandang bumile ng Tires? tumawag na ako sa concept1 wala clang 15" eh, Manila, QC, Makati or pasig area lng po ako...

By the way, main question here is anu anu ang mga dapat isama ko sa budget pag magpapalit ako ng mags and tires, for example, suspension + alignment, etc... be specific po sana, wala ako alam sa Gulong at suspensions eh, hehehe

Salamat!!!

Yesterday, I changed my rims and tires from the stock 13" to 15" na kagaya sayo ang tyre size na 195/55. Buti sayo marami kang mapagpilian pero dito sa probinsya, bihira lang ang may stock na rims, usually they say na oorderin pa sa manila kung wala silang display and will take 1-2 weeks ang delivery. I don't have this luxury of time so I had to make do with what's available.

The labor was free kc dun narin mismo sa store na pinagbilhan ko ininstall. But in my case, i had to pay for additional items like the spacer, new lugnuts, then tip narin kc satisfied ako sa pagkakagawa.

Di ko na pinabalance (P150 per tire) kc kababalance lang 2 weeks ago. Pero ang advice nila, if ever magvavibrate ang steering wheel when cruising at high speeds, saka ko na ipabalance. So far i tested it today, stable pa naman ang steering at 100kph.

Anu tawag sa Balance na sinasabi mo? wheel balancing?, tama ba? parang Mura ata?

Kung sobrang laki yung gulong, baka tatama sa wheel wells. Kakasya naman, pero tatama sa katawan ng kotse mo pag malubak.

Saan lugar, dude? Usually, okay yung servitek, pero depende kung aling branch.

i think the 195/50/15 will still fit into your car. pero depende sa offset ng mags yan ha? but i like the 195/55/15 more para di masyadong malaki yung gap sa wheel wells pag hindi ka lowered tsaka for a more comfortable ride.

wala ka namang kailangang palitan sa suspension parts kung stock height lang if you are from 195/55/15 to195/50/15. but expect a rough ride dahil manipis na yung goma mo.

and yes, kung bago yung mags, you have to have it balanced. the cost of wheel balancing is like that....around Php 150.00/wheel.

san maganda bumili? brand new ba? punta ka sa rota factory sa bicutan. madaming pagpipilian dun. o kaya shops along evangelista (bangkal) makati.

generally, you don't need to change suspension parts if you are changing rims lang and tires, but you need to just have the wheel balanced lang.

but since nalubak ka, i assume baka may damage yung suspension part mo (bushings, etc.) and baka kailangan mong i-camber o wheel alignment dahil sa lakas ng pagkakalubak mo.
