Thanks bro chiaster,

Saw ur rims in the other thread already. Very nice rims. Was actually thinking of the replica brabus monoblock q. But the guy told me replica can't fit my ride. Sad! If want must go for original one find it too exp scare not use to the car Kenna kerb.

Do u travel alot on the highway or more urban? Mine is the 1.6sc one.

apologies kirk713..

you mean S$280 per rim (ie. you still need to pay for new tyres) after trading in the 18" rims and tyres.... but I still have a question what "red" means...

:becky:hahaha...bro kirk713 is humorous... i think he means 280 x $10 (red)...so should be $2800...does it sounds reasonable? :confused:

Don't think so cause the looks will be superb/great..........................anyway SG cannot drive too fast too.........if change 18 or 19 sure regret, later see so many on the road having 18 or 19 (sure boring), nothing special...very norm...want to change must change 1 solid one................

(then in the heart will be saying if i know i go for 20ins)

cheers

Go for 19". I think they sit nicely, and will even look better if there is some lowering of the suspension ;D I have the Carlsson 1/10 TE staggered with PSS.
