Does anyone have comments or suggestions on wheels and tire replacement for n16? Any specific brands for 16 inches mags and ung partner na tires nya?? Prices? For future use lang.

At first I was planning to buy 17 mags for my n16 (05 gsx model) but after reading and learning na sobrang mahal nito at di pa abot ng budget ko... plus based from comments e masasacrifice ang ride comfort... nag decide na ako to postpone the mags. (medyo merun na kasing kapangitan ung centerpiece ng mags ko from 4 years of our dogs peeing on the mags)

Now Im torn between replacing mags and having Hid headlights.

Im confused about the headlights though... ngaun po e stock lang lahat. So anu ba kelangan gawin for me to have that Hid "blue white" headlights?? I've read about the retrofitted headlights or the plug and play types per di ko po sya naintindihan. May nabasa ako somewhere "north customs" na shop sya sa qc na nagcucustomize ng headlights... and meron na silang bolt on kits ranging from 5k to 17k... pili nalang cguro ng brand etc.

Tanung ko lang po if ganun lang sya kadali as in "bolt on" tlga for my n16 or merun pa akong kelangan ipagawa like housing or buy projector type headlights. (sorry po mga ser even after reading im still confused!)

if i were in your place, wag ka na ma-HID, but if you really like it, here's my understanding regarding the HIDs nowadays. meron ng plug and play types na HID wherein you'd just take out the stock bulbs and place the new ones. then you would need to attach relays to maximize light output. but doing these would cause glare sa mga other motorists if not aimed right. then you would need to buy those projector attachments/fittings so that you can 'cut' the light and remove the glare sa incoming motorists.
(CMIIW please

) kaso sa dami ng kilala kong bumili ng chaydis na to, either OA sa mahal nagastos nila, or laging pundido after ilang months if medio low-end nakuha mo.

invest on mags na lang po.. or if nde pa kaya, invest on good tires na lang for now.

Okay! Thnx sir carlo for the advice. Maybe I'll hold off the lights for now. Or rather White halogen nalang? Magtatanung tanung naren ako and upload the info here. My tires are still good kapapalit lang nila 2 months ago with new goodyear tires. Ung mags ko naman is medyo may pagkapanget na un 2 mags sa likod dahil sa ihi ng aso for 4 years. Although okay pa naman sya pag tiningnan mo sa malayo... sabe nga nila don't fix it if it ain't broken.

Now Im thinking for fuel efficiency and added power... have any of you guys tried the Speedlab packages? Im sure there was someone here that mentioned it but i don't know kung tinuloy nia ung upgrade ng K&N air filter.

Merun po ba kaung idea how I can make the sentra sound "meaner"? Ang ibig sabihin ko po e ung may deep sound when revving? I've read some articles and sabi papalitan ang intake and exhaust systems. And I've learned na hindi lang sound ang magbabago since papalitan mo ung tubes na pasukan (air filter) at labasan (headers to muffler) ng hangin it helps the car breathe easier... Does anyone know the specifics on this? Can changing the air filter and muffler only accomplish this?

Iyong sinasabi mo na Intake , Header, Exhaust modification magbibigay ng lakas sa hatak ng makina ng N16 mo at depende na rin sa brand ng muffler na ilalagay mo para sa deep sound when revving the engine.
