  Can recommend some good rims (15" and 16") for Altis?? I am looking around to change the original rims. Will bigger rims and tyres affect the actual speed shown in the car?? Pls advise. Thx.

  altis should be able to fit both 15 and 16 inch tires. always rem, bigger tires will give u better traction during corners more stabilty. but bigger tires also loses outt in pickup cuz heavier and ur fuel consumption will suffer.
  always make sure ur car has enuff horsepower to carry those extra weight.
  IMO, if u want looks, go for 16" but if u want abit of everything go for 15"
  hope these helps...

  a point to add ....... wider tyres (rims) would cause the car to float more on water. hence, the need for those aqua-thread tyres. this is all relative with the weight of the car of coz. heavier cars definitely float less
