Trade-In Stock Rims-how much shops offer u?

waa.. the koup is not even here yet how to know..

Why trade in? They are unique and I would much rather keep them..

agreed. I am keeping mine

i also thinking of keeping ahhha..

i don't want to change to sth sporty....cos koup isnt' fast..so keep it elegant.

Lolz.. thats what we have in mind when Kia forte first release everyone WOW.. rim not bad.. wow 17" rim.. good dont need change rim anymore..

but now u see.. most of them still change the rim lolz.. so for those forte koup bros.. before u drive out, deal it here first.. i think many forte bros love your rim =)

haha....u will feel the need for lighter rims and to differentiate urself from the other koupians... ... guess human nature....

lighter rims = better acceleration, better mileage... if u're going for mileage then better get early to offset the costs in the long run... if going for acceleration, the less weight the better...

Stock rims...
10.5L / 100km
on 50% Highway 50% City

Currently.... still on the first 200km...

FC is about 8.5L / 100km,
however, on 65% Highway & 35% city.

Our Koup will be the same FC as the sedan version?

Any pix to see....

your stock rims? trade in or sell?

my opinion is to sell off rather than trade-in..

might fetch a better price than trade-in since it's quite a gd looking sets of rims.

Sell them! I suspect there's some Forte guys who will be interested to get the Koup's "unique designed" rims!

I'm keeping mine stock

think read somewhere the rims are 20kg each? anyone noe?

not really sure.. i may be wrong so asking..

Anyhow, those changing Rims.. will you be changing out the Kumho tires as well?

On a side note: Kumho is posed to be taking over from Bridgestone as the official tire manufacturer for F1 after Bridgestone exits end 2010 according to a report in Straits Times today. Kumho tires might just be the next in thing!

Lighter rims usually also means... more brittle / not as "solid"... as those that are heavier.

no choice... cannot have best of both worlds...

joepele wrote:Lighter rims usually also means... more brittle / not as "solid"... as those that are heavier.

no..

does it mean enkei forged rims are more brittle than advanti cast rims? i don't think so eh.

usually when they are forged rims, they are one piece and are stronger. If not, they won't be used on track cars like evo, where light rims are critical and rigidity is all the more impt. You won't want the rims to 'fracture' after a few monster runs on the track.

and that is why forged rims are so ex..light and structural rigidity.

cheap and decent would be sth like advanti rims though..i got 15"s on my ride at 4.8kg each.

gd enough bro....

wat's the weight of our stock rims?
