youll break your back with 18inchers. the ride will be that bad. the max you should go for is 17.

manikjeet · 6th April 2007, 13:38

I to have a laura and i am to planning to get rims for it but 18 would be to much for the car the max you should go for is 17
i am thinking of 16 rite now as my car travels alot

Which part of Mumbai are u located sunny? I ask because of the pathetic condition the suburb roads are in. OZ has some amazing designs in 18" wheels. They would look fab on a Laura. I have seen a Laura with 18 inchers myself.

iraghava · 6th April 2007, 15:09

Here are the recommended upsizes for the Laura:

215/50-16
225/50-16
235/50-16

215/45-17
225/45-17
235/45-17

215/40-18
225/40-18
235/40-18

215/35-19
225/35-19
235/30-19

However anything over 17" you would be asking for trouble on our roads. Also ensure that the rim you select has the correct PCD, Width & Offset.

In the suburbs you could buy your wheels from Bombay Tyres or Saifee.

Mugen_Power · 6th April 2007, 15:23

So final options are..

215/50-16
225/50-16

Or

215/45-17
225/45-17

If you're from Chembur, drive down to Vashi to Pal Tyres.

I dont think so....the profile of the tyre will also count....I have 214/40 17 on my swift

....I am quite happy and the ride is also good.....

I think the best range of alloy wheels are with Saifee (Santa Cruz) and 4 seasons (Tardeo). You might do well to head over at either.

manson · 22nd April 2007, 17:27

ahhhh sunny, its you!!!!
come down, and we could find you some wheels from saifee or bombay tyres,k and guys he's ended up with a black laura.

Sunny, head straight to Jogani Tyres at lamington road, Ask for Dinesh Jogani and chech it out. He has a serious collection of quality rims and at good prices too. He can give you upsized tyres too if you want there and then. Four seasons and he are brothers so there wont be a price difference too. If you're goint to him, PM me. ill call and tell him to give a good deal.
