I new here, getting my Latio sedan this coming weekend. Just a few questions.
1) Is the stock tire and rim good enough for daily usage
2) What is the average price for V8rs and GR-80 ?
3) What is the weight of the stock 15" rim on Latio base sedan.
Thanks.

1. if you're a typical latio driver(2- 2.5k rpm constant), yes.
2. you gotta check it out, i dont sell tyres. but i guesstimate v8 to be about 150.
3. no idea. but its heavy. say.. 7kg?

Hey Thanks.
So which 15" rim do you recommend ? My criteria is :
1) About 5kg
2) 4 to 5 spoke
3) Can either fit V8rs or GR-80.

1. 5kg is hard to achieve unless you're going for expensive branded rims.
you can try rota slipstream or rota boost. either that or find kyowa rims. you can email kyowa to find out its weight. (rota slipstream and boost is about 5.6kg)
2. 4 spoke rims are NOT light. both above recommended by me are 5 or 6 spoke.
3. ALL rims can fit. but V8rs under 17" are known as V2.

Hi,
1) So do you have estimate price range for the 15" rota slipstream or boost ? And which shop do you recommend ?
2) Wow, thought the lesser the spoke should be lighter. :( New lesson gained.
3) O.K, then I stick to Bridgestone GR-80 tire then.
Once again, Thanks for the trouble to answering my silly queries. Have a nice 2008 ahead. :thumbsup:

estimated @ $120 per rims or so.
i strongly advise you to try V2. it isn't inferior to V8. just another name.
once you've tried it, you will never want to use GR80.
got a friend who tried V2 on my recommendation, a 53year old uncle.. driving a old honda civic. his car has gone 50k (constant malaysia goer) and his tyres still look fat and ready for another 10- 20k. dont get me wrong here. he's pretty agressive in driving and he likes the grip and noise level.
cheers. hope i've answered your questions and cleared your doubts. =]
btw, if you wanna do up your audio, do look for me.
