@FF - i doubt those are 98 pcd - alloys look similar to those on 16v100bhp's S10 - see this: IMG_2480d.jpg - Fiat Palio 1.6 S10

No! The friend who had to buy them temporarily dropped the idea of getting alloys and booked himself a Honda Activa instead

You can call Sai Mag Wheels and ask them for the price @ 98.11.33.37.16

Hi Folks - wanted to "show Off" my new set of wheels....

Here they are :

Alloys: Stamford Sport Wheels (SSW) 15"
Tyres: Michelin MXF Sport - 195 x 55 x R15

Cost me 17 K for the Alloys, and 14,400 for the 4 Tyres, sold back the OE 5 GoodYear GP2 - Tube-type 14" + 14" RIMS for 11k !!!

Whole deal was 20,400 /-
here are the pics -

turbolover,
The car looks hot! You bought the tyres through official channel or grey ? Dont remember seeing these tyres on Michelin India site.

mobike008 · 28th August 2009, 17:22

TL, thats one hot looking alloys and tyres on the getz. I loved the black matt finish of your alloys. Also the rubber looks good enough to eat

rageshgr · 28th August 2009, 17:29

Awesome wheels and awesome tyres!! sexy car !

predatorwheelz · 28th August 2009, 17:32

Very good choice of rims and tyres, turbolover. I'm myself a fan of black cars with black rims (check out my garage

). AFAIK, MXFs are not sold legally in India. Did you get them through the grey route.

kutlee · 28th August 2009, 17:37

nice wheels where did you get these SSW wheels?

Definitely worth showing off! Great looking wheels suit the car to the 'T'. If possible give us a review of how your Michelin MXF Sport perform.

Cheers,

I think the reason that they are "not sold in india" and "not on the website" is because they have been DISCONTINUED!!!

Correct me if i'm wrong, but these tyres were replaced more than a year back.

I had put them on my accent back in 2003/2004! (pic below)

Turbolover/Ravveendrra,

They are fun tyres! Great grip -- but you really gotta watch out because break-away is really SILENT and sudden! Especially in the wet!!!
