Wow! When I was looking for alloys 2 years back, matt black finish(the one you've got) was available only for 15" and above.. Hence the question

I got the alloys from Poona Motors in Camp, for a total cost of 15,500 including the fitment charges.

R_S - very nice looking alloys - very well suiting the RED SWIFT.

Cant believe the tire is 33K run already? WOW, they look brand new!

Also is this the real market price for the alloys / did you get any special discounts?

cheers

Hey, thanks a lot, bro!

Yup, this is the actual market price including all the fitting charges and the special allen key for the bolts.

What kind of alloys will i require for i20. I would like to keep tyres stock (Apollo Accelere).

Which are popular brands? I am aware of Lenso and Plati. Any others that i should be aware of. What is the approximate price range for the same?

Please advice

Hey guys,

The car is a suzuki swift GTi, a few I've been through each with different wheels at different times.

Black with silver wheels are 16x6.5in Lenso --/--/15 Got these 2nd hand $300AUD
Black with bronze wheel is 15x6 BJ Racing --/--/15 These were $500AUD set
Blue with Thin 10 spoke is 17x7.5 5zigen 205/40/17 these were exxy $500 Aud per rim, no tyres in 2004 (Japanese, lightweight)
Blue and Blue with airbrushed (two different cars) 17x6.5 Titan 205/40/17 New, set was $1100 with tyres

Swift VDi ABS 2009
Wheels - MOMO GTR 17"
Tyres - Nexen 205/45/R17

Gosh, your Momo GTR alloys look good enough to eat! I have a huge soft spot for 5 spokes. Fantastic choice. Don't want to nitpick, but I wish the outer border didn't have that "riveted" look. Would have looked cleaner / better without them.

P.S. That "diesel" sticker on your fuel lid sticks out like a sore thumb. Please remove.

The alloys look good on the car, nice choice mate.

OT: Guys, are there any adverse effects of choosing bigger alloys (upsize) on the suspension etc? I mean, an inch upsize is very common these days but if going any further, could it have any adverse effects on any component?

Mods, sorry for the OT, however this section seemed like a thread where I could ask this query. If inappropriate, request you to kindly move the query.

Drive safe.

Pics of my B. N. White Punto with 15" wheels -

Rachit.K.Dogra · 7th February 2011, 00:44

This is a car which I spotted in my Office. This really looked like a beast.
I am not sure how it would ride. The car was a good 1/1.5 feet above the ground. Thought of posting. By the looks of the alloys they looked expensive but I have not heard of this brand. Anybody has any idea..

thats one mean Endeavour. BUT, the alloys look cheap. So do the black wheel arches. Topped by LOSER Maxxis tyres. PHAIL!

The wheel & tyre combination is actually reasonable and shouldn't affect the ride quality at all. However, can't tell how he has lifted the Endy. In all probability, that will kill his ride. Great looking, though I don't envy the body roll he must be facing.

Guess it's all down to individual preferences; I quite liked them.

Sshhhh....

some tyres from the Maxxis range are highly revered amongst off-roaders (look up our 4x4 section).

Nice Choice. Please share detail like Make/model of wheels, pricing etc.

Sheel · 7th February 2011, 13:20
