Trade in tyres
 

Anyone can advise me where can i trade in my 16' stock wheels to 18' or 19' sets. Any good tyre shops to recommend? address and contact no .....thanks

Not sure bout trade in, but, to tell you the truth i have had the best service from Discount Tire company. They are everywhere and they can get you wheels/tires as cheap or cheaper (pretty much all brands/styles) than anywhere else due to there size and reputation. I have had really good experiences with them as have many of my friends, not sure about anyone else here though. Good luck

for trade in, you can try Poh Heng tyres at blk 4002 amk av 10. call justin at 98368640 to enquire. would like to add that i have never bought from them before but hearsay their prices quite competitive and they do trade-ins.

hi

dun bother trying to get original 18" mazda rims from Poh Heng as they do not have. You can try Leong Seng. thats where i got mine. other designs are good too. imo, PohHeng looks too busy and untidy to my liking. They do not really offer good selection of big rims.
just own observations, dun flame me

cheers

Is leong seng at paya ubi ave 1......? may be i will try to go down to hav a look tomorrow evening... thanks

Leong Seng has a more impressive showroom for sure but from my experience, the prices are slightly higher than Poh Heng.

By all means, order your wheels from LS but I'm pretty sures tires are cheaper at Poh Heng. Don't let the small shop fool you! They can get you pretty much any tire you want. As for wheels, they stock Taiwanese replicas a lot. But they can order Volks etc if you want but LS could be quicker.

Go to both and then decide is my advice.

Cheers,

yah but at PH it is like a fish market. chances of your new rim or car being scratched is very high. well you get what you pay for.

actually it was my impression when i was there a couple of times ......i mean, the service was ok but the place is too disorganised to my liking. the catalogue was crappy. unless you really know what you are looking and approach him directly, you will likely not be able to find any impressive rims on display there

my 2 cents

Thanks
 

I will go down this evening to check it out from Leong Seng ...

thanks for all your help...will go down to LS this evening

Volks they (PH) order thru stamford tyres.

so should i go down to stamford easier.....

I think stamford has a reputation for being pricey but they stock a good range. LS would be a better bet in this case.

Yes I agree PH is a little messy and disorganised but I wouldn't go as far as saying you'll scratch your rims or car there. I installed my tires recently and it went fine. But I can understand that having a nice big showroom does count in giving one a piece of mind, so if that's what you're after, LS could be a place to go. Personally, I will go to LS for wheels but my tires will be sourced from PH unless LS can do a discouted packaged deal.

Also speak to MG, sometimes they can good packaged deals on tires + wheels for u.

Good luck!

let us know ur findings. thks

any bro know what is the exact weight of RX8 original 18" rims?

worth to upgrade to forged rims?

search? it has been posted a MILLION times

Was told it was btw 9-10kg

Cheers

Depends on ur mileage, I upgraded to Pro-drive 1 piece forged rims, got a 0.5km/l improvement and would take abt 2-2 1/2 yrs to breakeven the cost :hahano:

So u can calculate if it would make sense for u to change. Otherwise, the "better look" is as good a reason as any to change :hahano:

IZ wat is the weight of the subaru rims u upgrade to ah?

i think ard 8. Can feel a big difference in response, car feels a whole lot lighter :)
