I must be an odd ball! Am I the only one here who is not interested in big wheels?
In fact I have been contemplating to change my foot car Bravo's 16" 205/55 tyres with steel wheels to light weight 15" alloy wheel with 195/60 tyre.作者: PuntoPatrick 時間: 2010-2-25 14:28

15" is too small for Bravo's outlook

You think so? But Bravo is only a foot car wow, and I think 205/55/16 is too big for just 120bhp, 195/65/15 would save on rotational mass and an even more comfortable ride. The mileage that I am doing in this moment reaches 20K km per annum, I will be changing the tyres at the end of this year. So decisions .... decisions .... decisions .....作者: PuntoPatrick 時間: 2010-2-25 19:01
is euro version use 15" wheel as original? just the Hong Kong dealer change them to 16"?作者: 古惑強 時間: 2010-2-25 19:32
basic 90bp version has 15" as standard, some 120hp get 15/16 depending on trim version, 150 gets 16" alloy as standard, 17" & 18" are optional. Mine is 16" steel wheels!作者: Trevor 時間: 2010-2-25 23:27
I think 16" looks better... again... it's a matter of practicality vs style...作者: 古惑強 時間: 2010-2-25 23:36
I agree 16" looks better on appearance, for a foot car my main concern is weight, fuel efficiency, accelerations & cost of tyres + investment in a set of alloys. If sticking to 16" then I might as well keep the existing 16" steel wheels, otherwise I can go for a set of light weight 15" alloy wheels, I get savings from the lighter rotational mass, cheaper tyres etc ........ $$$$
Just don't feel that a 120hp car will need 205 tyres. Coupe is using the same width section of tyres despite having almost 70% more horse power!作者: AbarthJoe 時間: 2010-2-25 23:52
係咪有 D 低路阻，號稱慳油既 ECO 呔？咁咪可以怪 D 油 lor

會! Those so call "low rolling resistance tyres" doesn't suit me, after-all it is my foot car, my family are most likely to sit in it!作者: PuntoPatrick 時間: 2010-3-5 16:52
