re: The official alloy wheel show-off thread. Lets see your rims!

After 5 and a half years and 75000 kms on the odo, I finally got a chance to give my cars a set of new alloys - HRS 14"!

My 2008 Palio MJD with 15 inch wheels and 195/55/15 Hankook tyres. because of the wider track the car is an absolute pleasure to drive.

Yes. She's lowered too. The ride quality is awfully bouncy with the current set up. A set of Bilstein B6's are on the way to take care of that

Nice alloy design but I strongly feel that the car looks undertired with 14" wheels. I love the finish too.

Thanks! I completely agree with you and that's why I deliberately mentioned 14". I did not want to spend more on tyres as they have half life left. Moreover, I am planning to buy another vehicle before Diwali and re-position my swift as the second car.

Finally changed the rims and tyres for our 40k kms run Skoda Fabia.

Rims: Lenso project-D specE replicas, 15 x 7j.
Tyres: Yokohama S drive 195/55 R15.

Wanted to upgrade to 16s but couldn't find nice rims.

Have you lowered using H&R lowering springs and stock shocks? Do keep us updated on how the ride quality changes after the bilstein upgrade.

That seems like a ZR6x extreme bodykit. If you're driving this in India then RESPECT
