hi will be getting new ride soon(CVT Premium Sedan Black Colour)

The car is coming with the stock chrome sport rims....
I thought of changing to the stock bronze rims.....my SE say can but gotta do it after i collect my car,go to another workshop and pay a fee of $50.00 .

Wanna ask , shall i keep the Sport Rims that come with the car or change/trade in outside or pay a $50.00 and get the normal bronze rims??

I am just afraid that i lu gi i use the Sport Rims that came with the car and change to the normal but stock bronze rims.....

If change rims outside will it void the warranty???
What type of Rims is our Latio using??

Thank u.....

really boils down to which rims you like. if you like the bronze ones, go for it.

no such thing as lu gi. worry about lu gi, dont buy a car. =]

change rims outside should not void you warranty, but as i will always say, if afraid, DONT change anything.

our latio are using 4x100 rims.

Hi Vypez, how often do we need to change the spark plug? Is every 10KM a good indicator?

50k for optimum performance,

100k, recommended by TC.

vypez sifu,

im back muahhhahah ... .tmr free bo ... go ur shop tcss ....


thinking of pairing kyowa rims with hankook tyes V8 .... (since v8 seems to get so much good review)
but the tyres noisy anot ah .... good for ice? light?
problem is tyres have to get from Jurong and rims i shd be getting from AMK (either the famous shop or the one opp)

aniway, just to share seems like Kyowa 16" rims is about 130/pc (520 for a set) and Hankook about 160/pc (576 for a set)
Next problem is that varying trade in price of the new set.

One shop offering 300 and another as i read in the forum about 500.
then another near bendemer about 400-450..... headache

sigh .... now i prob have to buy the tyres first then bring to the rims shop to do the installation ... sibeh ma fan ... hahha
latio boot can put 4 tyres bo ah?

next, ice ice baby .... most prob get 9887 and focal 165kf with focal 4.75 ..... subs leave it first .... total shd be about 2.2k

sifu ... the price above for rims and ice shd be ok rite .... must let me know if tio "tok" okies .... thks thks ....
