metal rims only scrap yard want lah. no trade in value.
but since u r not familar. i suggest u pay attention to cars similar to yours but having different rims. DO NOT SPEND as yet. Hold ur cash and resist all temptations. -
in layman terms, any rim that are not standard items on ur car in stock condition are generally referred to as "sports rims" in local context. most car dealers only offer "sports rims" as options unless u are talking bout performance models such as the evo and rex where sports rims come standard.Originally posted by alberteinstein:I always heard sports rims here and there.

there are a myriad of aftermarket sports rims which vary in their design and method of production which eventually affects their cost. depending on the condition and aftermarket value of ur original rims, certain sports rim dealers may consider allowing u 2 trade in ur rims. dun expect good prices though. other option is to stash ur stock rims safely somewhere for u 2 fit back when u want to liquidate ur sports rims when u sell the car. -

If you are thinking of getting 15" spot rims, I went down to a workshop along boon keng 24 hr tyre shop. The lady boss got 1 set of OZ super turismo gt for sale. As the order was cancelled by another customer now they want to clear that set. She told me 600 inclusive of labour.Originally posted by alberteinstein:i see. thanks for the info.

Get the rim from there, then go JB buy a set of low profile tyre 195 , If i not wrong going for around S$250.(for better quality type). Take the tyre to that shop and ask them to fix in for you lor... lolz..provided they give u free service.
OZ turismo is the one on lancer CS3 sport edition type.
Or if you really wan to save more.. try scoping in JB... sometimes may get a good deal. But beware of imitations.Sometimes they tell you is original but the density is lower ... another words "chiong" type. My friend went in change to 16" sporty design but no brand 1 cost around S$650. If you wan looks go for it. If u wan safety, get the originals. -
if i'm not wrong the number represents the size of the rim, in inches. R, i'm not sure stands for what...Originally posted by PLC guy:can someone tell me what is the advantage of sports rim,? and what is the number of R16, R15 etc, and the R number is higher better? -
the R is the rim size.. the higher means the bigger the rims..
as for pricing it varies... got cheap and heavy or light and very expensive..
