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.

I will recommend soh tyre instead of poh heng. The 2 tyre shop just opposite each other. Ask Latioboy91 and he will tell u y soh tyres is better.... They have alot of rims u can view...

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.
