Hi Redsunns,

If u interested to change ur rims and tyres to 16" and u dun want to spend so much u can try soh tyres at amk. They have in house package for 16" taiwan rims and Falken 912 or Eagle F1 tyres at $950 if i remember correctly and tu can trade in ur stock rims and tyres at abt $300 to $400. Just quote Uncle Frankie (64549071) that Joshua (latioboy91) recommend u so he will give u a better price.

Pls note that I'm just post this to help bro who dun want to spend alot to upgrade their rims to 16". I dun get any commission by increasing soh tyres sales. I upgrade my 16" at Hankook Toh Guan with the play G rims and V8 tyres at $1180 (Can ask Carmodz if ur doubt the price) and i can it during the MM 2008.

rim brand not that important to some as some would like to have Advanti or Kyowa Racing Rims as they are the more popular rims brand. for me i go for tyres and i would recommend u hankook v8rs tyres. u will love it from the point u drive out. R u looking for installment for ur rims n tyres?? if yes then u can go to hankook at toh guan to change to the play G rims (6.71kg) and v8rs tyres with nitrogen gas.

Bro, can i ask whats the colour of ur ride? where u stay? Cos the play G have 2 colour. silver with gun metal and black with red trim.
