Upgrade ng Wheels

[tridagger]

Hello peeps,

Plano ko kasing palitan ng 15" rims ang stock wheels ng ESi ko. Pero ang gusto ko sana ipalit is yung stock wheels ng accord na kasabayan nito. Problem is pcd114 yung sa accord so hindi sya pwede. Ang tanong ko is kung pwede kong gawing pcd 114 ang mga studs para magkasya yung sa accord. Anu ano ba ang mga papalitan at kung hindi ito makakasama sa suspension ng kotse ko?

Thanks in advance sa mga replies nyo!

bro mahirap yang gusto mo....is either magpalit ka ng
mga diskbrake sa harap with 114pcd same thing sa rear mo..
mas malaki gastos...buy ka na lang ng rim na swak sa sukat

you can buy an adapter which will bolt on to your studs (pcd 100) on one side, and be pcd 114 on the other. problem with this is your wheels are bound to extend outside your wheelwell coz lalapad ng konti ang stock hub mo coz of the adapter. also, i don't know how good this adapter will work on your ride as regards ride quality and performance.

bro mga ilang inches naman yung ilalapad ng adapter??
sa tingin ko greater than 1"..medyo malaki yun and
mawawala sa right offset ng wheels mo...

ozcity,
palagay ko a little over an inch ang adapter. anything thinner might compromise the durability of the adapter.

tridagger,
the adapter is an option, but i would advise against getting one installed. hanap ka na lang ng ibang mags, bro.

So I guess talagang malabo ang gusto ko. Thanks sa mga replies nyo!

Anyway, may suggestion ba kayong bagay na 15" rims para sa ESi. My options now are the stock rims of Sir, stock rims of 02 civic or pa buff ko na lang stock rims ko. Ano sa palagay nyo? Color nga pala ng civic ko is cashmere silver.

tridagger,
SiR! :wink:

or you might wanna take a look at the new designs rota is offering. try not to get the older rota designs, medyo madami nang nakaganun on a civic.

magpapalit rin lang kayo ng rims bakit mga stock din ng iba ? get the aftermarket ones , not necessarily mahal kasi may mga mura din pero if i were you i'd save my money and go for the high performance , light wheels . do it right the first time . goodluck.

tridagger,

IMHO... ok naman SiR rims dami binabagayan pero pang EK yun. Since EG car mo try the new lightweight rota rims.

Meron yung Mugen RnR copy by Rota ang gaan tapos bagay pa sa EG and EK 8) ..gaan talaga!

You can also try asking other ESi owners sa http://www.hondaclub.com.ph main forum :D ...you can see a very active EG thread there by EG owners like you . If you need any advice, help on your car they'd sure be glad to help :D

cashmere silver? is that silver as in silver? or yung parang beige?

eto pala yung orig Mugen... The Rota copies.... kuhang kuha nya! ...plus lightweight rin!

Supierreman,

Thank you very much! Ganda nga niyang mugen rims na yan. Will these light weight rims significantly give an improvement in the handling of my car?
