yo bro, no I am staying in Bedok, I stay in tampines... so what rims you changing to?? that rim set up not bad looking... ok, you let me know your number, then we can meet up, at least we both staying in the East...

regarding the sound, I never recall any clocking sound coming out from the engine... maybe it's the way you drive, that's why... so far so good for the drive...

you using both offset 30 for front and rear?? does the rim protrude out of the wheel arches?? coz I have offset 30 for front and offset 40 for rear, that's why I haven't got the rims... I am also waiting for my coilovers and bodykit to come, will be coming soon, hope so...

cheers

oic, actually i live at pasir ris, but normally i'll be at bedok.
the offset i gave u is a rough memory of mine, but the next set of rims i get will be front 31, rear 32. as i'm base on my current setup, i'm no expert in these, better let the "old bird" here to give some comments on your setup.
actually, the sounds not always there, maybe is due to the transmission oil still cold...normally it happen when i park my car for long hours...

p.s the next rims i'm getting will be something like the veilside ANDREW Baccarat.
