Hi ALL the 8,
Some question:
I GOT 2 SETS of 18" RIM from Taiwan (is on the way back to SG by ship)
Which set of RIMs look better on sliver 8
Cheers!

Yeah.. i guess we have TASTy and Tasteless....
Was looking thru some rims today at Paya Ubi. Set my eyes on a set of 18'' SSW.. chrome, multi-spoke. (Taiwan)
Damage: $250/rim
Tyres: AD07: $235/tyre
Comments?
Not for track usage, wonder if itll be suitable for point A to point B.. how durable is taiwan rims anyway?
PS: Stamford (SSW) buys in bulk and emboss their brand.. thats all.

unlucky, u might actually wind up wif rims that has micro-scopic cracks on them
n it might juz break into 2 when ur cruising...saw an accident veh that make a claim saying that that was wat happened to him...
But then again it is all hearsay...if stamford tyre r willing to buy them n use it
under their brand name...i supposed it shld be quite alright...dun think
stamford wld risk their reputation...
