I've been getting a negative responce from all others, they prefer the white Lenso rims I had earlier.

Me too love the design, very classy me says cheers: How much are these?

Thnx Jaggu, got them for 19K set of 4.

Audiophile,

NEAT looking set of rims, bro. Very classy. Give the ikon a slightly menacing look, like you're about to step out and bust a cap in someone's ***!! :D

16s, huh? You must have gone really low on the profile? The tread pattern looks like an S-drive... did you go 195/50 or 205/50 by any chance?



[quote=audiophile;991474]Here are the new sweet 16's i got for my Ikon.
AVA wheels in Hyper Black.

Hey buddy,first of all Congrats on the new wheels.

They are looking real nice:thumbs up. as u have 40 profle tyres now, howz the ride quality?

Lenso 17"
Nankang 225/45/R17

@ghostrider, first of all, thnx for those great comments. Its current running on 205/40/R16. No company is making 195 on 16 inchers.

As for S-drives they don't make a 40 profile in 16 inchers.

Hey Munish, thnx man, ride quality on 40 profile feels much better than the 50 profile I was running earlier.

Believe me it only looks bumpy. Not sure if the nitrogen in there is doing all the good work.

Yeah, but the 40 profile scares me on these Bangalore roads.

@audiophile Woah 16"s on an ikon...:Shockked: Thats muder to your ride quality. Does it foul the wheel wells..?? Sure it does! 205????? Looks like it. Another:Shockked:

Please give us a little review on the ride quality etc.

Im adding some pics of my car with Lenso Samurai sc-04 17inchers on my car, just to take the breath away.

I will then shower you with the details.

Im not having any issues with the wheels, as for the ride quality.....yes its a bit hard compared to the stock 13-14" rims.

Offset is +40 and it a 7J wheel

no major mods, just 4mm horizontal spacers in the front wheels so that they don't come in contact with the shocks.

Besides that, the back seat can have 3 ppl sitting and no issues.

As for power....my 1.6 pulls it like a baby on its back.

Audiophile - I do like your current wheels, they look really nice but I too prefer the earlier ones!

Hey iraghava---when you say earlier ones, are you talking about the Lenso SHU or the hyper black AVA wheels?

Nice rims audiophile and ghostrider.

Thnx there @PatienceWins

Thanks, PatienceWins. I've got a Lenso SHUs on the Ikon which are quasi-multispoke, so wanted a clean 5-spoke design for the swift.
The good thing about a 4- or a 5-spoke design is that it makes the rims much easier to clean. The Swift rims get cleaned ALL the way to the inside of the wheel, which isn't possible in the Ikon without a semi-high pressure hose.
