Nice alloys Anil! Glad to see you upsized to 15".

Final Touch is on Mission Road.

Appreciate that Anil (hope I got ur name right) :)

I own Getz Prime 1.3L myself and wanted to know how is the ride now with 15" Rims and 55 profile tires?
I've been contemplating of an upgrade from a while now but little sceptical since Getz comes with Hydraulic P.S and I don't want it to get stiffer.

few points i can think of:
- the ride quality has really improved from the stick R13s.
- little bumps don't matter anymore.
- the height is increased (that's obvious) and you feel like sitting in a bigger vehicle
- you feel more in control
- the car is very well planted on the road at high speeds and also when taking fast turns
- i can turn the steering both ways completely and not be worried about the tyre scraping the wheel well
- i don't know if this is a placebo effect, but i feel the car has better acceleration
- steering is very stable

PS: i've a Dec 2006 Getz

Here is what I am rolling on. Got a good deal on a set on 5 and didn't think further :D

You forgot to mention one very important point.
- The 5th spare alloy+tyre fits into the rear wheel well like a snug sock !

Oh and the cost for the alloy+tyre+fitting+wheel nuts+nitrogen+wheel balancing+alignment works out to 8700 a piece (Totally - 8700x5) ! A good deal in my opinion !

Oh, how did I miss that!

When they brought the alloys and the tyres and were trying to stuff it in the car to take it for fitment, I noticed the tyre wasnt sitting properly in the boot. I got the scare of my life - bought the wheels, but it isn't fitting in the spare wheel well! Where do I keep the spare wheel now!?

Xryder and the shop assistant did some adjustments and ta da!! The wheel fell in place :D

I'll put up a picture of it later in the day!

Hi Frank,

As mentioned 2-3 posts later, this single design of Samurais are available in 14". Rest all are 15" upwards. They are available in Fiesta's exact PCD (108) with 4 hole and 8 hole options.

It is available in 14" and I am also planning to get a similar set for my Swift

sorry for the late reply IronH4WK, thank you for that info. I really want to upsize to 15" and your experience is really very encouraging bro....appreciate your input. :)

Don't go beyond 195 size tires, anything above that would be an overkill.
