I would not say high speed but can set according to driver/owner driving style. Most will just set according to car specs. I have a quite a few members who driver pretty aggressively, so their setting, especially their cambers, are set quite negative evenly though for daily drives. So once camber is negative they have to slightly counter it with the alignment.

I normally do not venture too far off, as many shops in Sunway area already have plenty of rims.
Hup Shun, Tek Ming, then in USJ have Quicksave. Prices see loh! your negotiation whether comes with extras or not and so on...

Yah! always check around first for the prices and also whether is all in, like balancing, valves, alignment etc...
Tyre shops normally sell most brands of tyres, but they usually have a special brand that have better price, probably due to bulk purchases, therefore prices can differ from shop to shop and brand to brand... smile_tongue.gif

Gentlemen and ladies, the purpose I wrote this article is to share my experience buying sport rim in pekan Rawang.
I knew this place in internet few day ago and decided to make a visit there to shop for sport rim for my car. Yes, in
a popular tyre shop recommended in internet, I did find my dream sport rim at a reasonable price, balancing work
for 4 pcs wheel of course is free of charge, however not for wheel alignment job. They charge me RM100 for that,
but after bargain, down to RM80. After alignment job done, the mech test drive my car and did some adjustment
again, seem to make sure the job is up to customer satisfaction. I got no idea if the mech there were well trained as
every one look young. Well, after everything was done and on the way back to KL, I felt my car steering was shaking
whenever ran abt 90km/h! While I was thinking if I should turn back to the shop, I saw opposite road was jam due
to police road block, feeling lazy, I gave up turning back. The next day, I sent my car to a tyre shop beside my office.
The mech managed to solved the problem after worked out balancing and alignment again, and I got to pay another
time for the service, my god.
So my word to those who are going to shop for sport rim in " pekan ", you can go ahead to do so but for alignment
service, it advisable to do it at your familiar and trusted tyre shop. Workmanship and pricing for alignment service in
such places are questionable. lastly, I also got some tips for buying sport rim. first, ask the salesman the price of sport
rim that you want ( don't let them know you like the sport rim very much, cool down yourself please ), then only ask for
trade-in price ( trade in your old rim ). After the salesman offer you their " last price", tell them you want to go to see
other choice in next door, then they may give you another " last price ". This is the advantage shopping for sport rim in
Rawang as many tyre shops are located just around one street (near the roundabout ). After sport rim price is settled,
then come to the price for nuts and srews..... I guess the meat from this small items are thicker than those sport rims,
since prices of sport rims alway on war, and buyers tend to pay less attention to that small stuff too. So don't forget to
bargain on this things also. ph34r.gif

Jadilah pengguna yang bijak, pesanan dari Kementerian........................



thats why when i buy my tyres at too-cheap place i wouldnt let them do my alignment....enough with installation and balancing only.....

then i will heads to my favourite alignment shop for peace of mind
