How much does a wheel rim cost?

**Bombastic** · March 8th, 2006 10:45 PM

I'm new to this things kaya noob ako. hehe BTW, Honda Civic VTi '98 car ko. Gusto ko sana mag buy ng new wheels (yung tubeless type). Are the tires included in the package o separate ang pagkabili nito?

Ok ba yung tubeless types na tires( 2" thick na ata yun)?

tubeless ang tires, not wheels... depends on what size you want to change to. what's your budget?

15" wheels - 13-14k, add 3.5k per tire
17" wheels - 17-20k, add 4.5-6.5k per tire depending on brand

are you talking about the rims or mags or the tires (rubbers)?

afaik, most of the tires (rubbers) that go out of the market these days are the tubeless types na. for the 2" thick rubbers, i think you are pertaining to the series 40/45 tires. ang nangyayari nito ngayon, is that option na ng buyer or carowner to put interiors na lang sa tires nila.

correct me if im wrong peeps.

I was talking about the metal rim. What is better a 15" inch mag or 17"?
What brand do you recommend for both the magz and the tires? My budget is 40k.

sa 40k mukhang di pasok sa 17's. dagdag pa konti. around 20k na yung rims then tires siguro around 5500 to 7k (depende sa brand).

17's - mas maporma shempre. downside is mas matagtag mas mahal tires.

What brand of tires do you recommend and also the rim?

BTW my current rim size is 14" and they recommend 16" rim. Ok lang ba ang 16" rim? Kasi sabi nila pag 17" daw ang rim mo meaning manipis yung tires mo. At madali daw masira ang car dahil sa road condition ng Pilipinas. Agree ako sa 16" kayo?

been there done that, i upgraded to 17s (from 16s). limited choices kasi sa styles for 16s. bridgestone potenza g3 is a good tire. that's what i'm using right now, no complaints.
