Hi all, i have just got my latio sports base last tuesday and mileage now is about 600++. i was thinking to change my rims to either a 16" or 17". Can kindly advice me on which will be a better choice? my budget is about 1k best to be lower... And should i change it now or wait till i had driven till tires bold liao then go change.

Thank you all in advance

Don't think anyone could really advise you except yourself. It's your money and you do what you feels like. (Sorry. Not trying to be mean here..) The only thing to take note is that you have to try to maintain the overall rolling circumference of the wheel if you upsize your size, your wheel's weight will definitely be heavier than the stock. Also, the rolling resistance will increase too, contributing to a higher fuel consumption. How much higher? That will have to depends on the style of your driving and type of route you taking.

sorry for asking all ******** stuffs as this is my first time owning a car and still very green to lots of things

Nothing wrong with asking. That's what the forum is for. (To share knowledge) If your question is s*****, you'll most be flamed by the rest by now.  :smile:  For myself, I also asked a lot in order to know all these. So now my turn to pass on the knowledge.

For the tire pressure, it's best you invest in a pressure gauge with those analogue meter. (not those digital type if possible) Reason is that most of the petrol kiosk pump are not accurate.

For stock tires : Rear -> 30bar (210kpa)   Front -> 33bar (230kpa)  [When cold - travelled less than 5km]
                       Rear -> 31bar (220kpa)   Front -> 34bar (240kpa)  [When warm/hot - travelled more than 5km]
