Michael, you've been reading Wheels mag haven't you? AutoSeal sounds good
but I wonder if there's a convenience vs performance tradeoff, hmmm. I
just got a bike for my 3 1/2 year old daughter and one of the things I
looked for is that the tyres are ok i.e that they are air-filled rubber
tyres and not one of them "dead" rubber tyres, or worse, the plastic
ones. So I find it strange that Abah is contemplating deadening his tyres
with AutoSeal, when daughter gets the (almost) real thing!. Need to find
out more - to date I have not seen any review on the product. As for 18"
wheels, I think Tazlan, you are going to get gleaming eyes but a sore
butt. If you don't mind that, remember, I'm willing to relieve you of your
current 16" wheels - gladly.

Ha ha Kassim...
My V6 is using the 18s but I'm using the stock shocks and the ride is
comfortable. Cornering jangan ceritalah....best giler.

Hi Tazlan ,
The Nabira shocks and spring are very firm compare to sedan even with the
16"rim 205/55 series tyre. If put in 17" ot 18" rims with low profile
tyre ( in order to clear the fender and not to increase the tyre + rim
diametre too much which resulting higher FC)....must stock up some Yoko
Yoko in the car !
The Zafira OPC come with stock 17" with 215/45 series tyre but it hace
200 horses under the hood! Damn! why it is not available here ?
I have searched the reputable rims manufacturers in the WEB but hardly
find anything beyond 17" for Zafira ! May be i miss out some sites ?
In my opinion,the16" is the best size for the Nabira as it offers some
looks, performence and comfort ! >16" with a lower profile tyre , u get
more performence but u will lose the comford too much. Chenge to some
garang design ...BBS stuffs
That is the mistake i made for my Toyota when i change from 14" to 17"
rims together with the performence adjustable shocks ! Superb
Performence , gripping , cornering but my children dont like to sit in my
car , and they always want mummy's car !
