Hi - looking to get myself a set of alloys for my ANHC in Bangalore. Any tips on size and brand? The car is dark grey.

Much thanks!

I too am looking for alloys for my ANHC. The ones that look stunningly good are the Lenso Samurai S050 and the Lenso Dash. They blend quite well. Lenso i believe is better than Plati, HR and League in terms of quality and the weight advantage it offers..Yet doing my homework before i shod my Black ANHC with alloys. Would love to see pics of ANHC with alloys if someone has them..

I could not find any reference to either Lenso Samurai S050 or Lenso Dash. Can you point to any links?
I have been going through some League designs but I am being told that many of them wont be available in Bangalore.
Which are the good alloy shops other then Hot Tracks?

Apologies. please:.I meant the SC05.Also, check out the SC01 and SC02 on google images. I can imagine they would go with the car well. The survey i did yielded the best prices with Prakash (Super Tyre Tech). I am not able to see the Lenso Dash on the net but i have seen those in Prakash's storage..GUna, are you planning on a tyre upgrade too? What deal are you getting for the Michelin XM1s 175/65/R15 already on the ANHC.

I saw them (even Dash) on net and they look nice. Only issue I feel is, as the spikes buldge out, they tend to get damaged.
I am talking to some dealers and yet to get quotation. Ideally I would have prefered to exchange them soon after the delivery.

A very basic question...Is it advisable to switch from the 175 XM1s on the ANHC to 195/60 S Drives? The tyre dealer told me it is a downgrade.:Shockked:. He says that the drive quality and the durability and road noise gets compromised..Please advise..

As for the alloys what is the offset for the ANHC? What is the recommended range?

195/60R15 is a good upgrade.
However as far as i remember the S Drive doesnt come in 195/60R15.

Heres a link to a site with lots of pics of ANHCs with alloys. I'm sure this would help you guys get an idea of what looks good and what doesnt on the car :D

Heres the link to a site with the modded ANHCs. This would help give an idea of what does and doesnt look good on the city for ANHC owners out there

!95/60R15 isnt available in S-drives.Even if they were,they would offer slihgtly better ride comfort than the 175/65R15 since there is more sidewall to absorb the bumps and cushion the ride.
The only tires available in 195/60R15 are michelin mxv8 and yokohama a-drive.

Hi folks
I have decided to upgrade to 195/60 R15 wheel for my ANHC.
I need advice on the tyre selction
My requirements in order of priority:
  1. Safety (one which is least prone to blow-outs, good traction on slippery surface etc. I will come across bad roads occassionally. I won't do very high speeds)
  2. Comfort (as against performance. But I will be happy if I can get both :))
  3. Cost (should be within 4500/tyre)
  4. Road noise
  5. Durability
I was advised to go for Bridgestone Turanza by Honda person but the tyre dealer is asking me to take a look at BF Goodrich.
