Very very neat Alloys. And, though it has become a bit common now, am a big fan of the riveted type of alloys.

This enhances the look ofthe car greatly

Hows the ride Q, with the low pro tyres though

vittalnrv · 11th February 2011, 20:32

Ride quality is pretty acceptable, have been using these alloys previously on my corolla. They are built to last, have taken lots of beating though.

bhai ive used bigger wheels since 3yrs my last upgrade was 15s,now i often use my car for long drive purpose so even 15s were hitting hard and the ride,last 2 drives of 800kms each were a nightmare i just felt like throwing the wheels out and get back to stock rims and tyres,so bro got these 14s before my mind changed to install 13s stock

now dont have any show off left just a business purpose vehicle only,i am enjoying my ride just took her for a 550km trip steering and 195 thickness on 14s is a wonder and sudden surprise pot holes ohhh u cant feel them anymore

refurbished alloys on a friend and fellow bhpians sierra

Sheel · 20th February 2011, 21:54

Can anyone post good resolution pictures of Fiesta's stock alloy wheels? The silver finished ones which come with the SXi package.

I believe Figo & Fiesta's PCD should match and I can swap them on Figo?
Thanks

Model: Hyundai i20 Magna Petrol

Wanted to do this (the alloys and tyres) for a long time...
Bought the car on 30th Jan and within a couple of day, got her new set of alloys and tyres.

Upgraded from 175 to 195/65 R15. Yokohama A-drives. Paid 4400 for 4 in exchange
Alloys : upgraded from 14inch wheels to 15inch HRS alloys. Paid around Rs 14.75k

Love the look. Speedo error has come down. A true 80km/h on GPS is just 82 indicated as against 85 earlier.

The car has run 1510km and inspite of wider tyres, she is doing well on fuel.
1st fill up : 12.1
2nd fill up : 12.5
3rd fill up : 13.4

These are as per current odo reading which is under-reading by 3% as compared to a stock i20

Those rims are stunning. They're reminiscent of some BBS wheels I saw a long time ago.

Latheesh · 25th February 2011, 17:47

BunnyPunia - Wheels look hot, nice choice.

How about some closer pictures?

BunnyPunia · 25th February 2011, 18:03

Dude your car is looking superb. Congrats. Seen some good alloys on a i20 after a long time.

Guys pls suggest me which alloys to be used 4 my Maruti EECO. Is a tyre upgrade necessary for an EECO?
