erm what about 15" inch rims?
the sportivo or premium 1 is fitted with 15 rigth? if im not mistaken..
its already heavy with 14"... well depends on wat kinda driver u are ler...
if u more into performance, maybe ull get a lighter rims.. but me, since i know the car is heavy, id prefer it to be more to the appearance side... wana feel proud driving the 206.. yes baby..~

Bro try asking syan, he uses a cbu 1.4 with 16' rims.

[gilamon206]

go for 16" rims. u wudnt go wrong. my reasoning

1) the 206 1.4, even with 14" tyres, the acceleration is quite bad to start off and it is just a 1.4 with 75 hp (plus personally, i feel that 206 with 14" jz doesnt look good, u look @ it from the rear, the width of the tyres just wudnt match the car)

2) slap on a 16", cruise around and drive slowly is better =p looks better too, if ur daring enough, take 17", but go for OZs cos they are light weight rims

3) i took it up genting, went to Ulu Yam runs etc etc, feels more confident around those tight corners.

4) there isnt much difference between a 14" and a 15". difference is only 1", but this is subjected to personal preference. I know alot of owners out there uses 15" so dun shoot me.. jz a preference.

I am using 16" myself... a poser, YES, I have to admit but I just want the car to look better


the only downside is, there's a price to pay for replacing those 16" tyres

this is true, it looks ugly cause the width is too small from the back..
argh!

the bestari is more for a leisure type of driving......... if you want to sprint this is not yr type........ but if you want comfort and satisfaction then 206 it is...... it can touch 180km/h with properly calculated driving style

the 185 series model replace by nasim for my car makes it look nicer..........

the 185 series tyre may look good but i miss my top speed i'd be very happy to change back to the old skinny 175 tyres and give up the extra grip (as the car doesn't have the additional power anyway to power out of corners).

Lowpro i agree with you...... but have more grip taking corners and at time i lipat with confident........ doing this i usually use the tiptronic....

how to see 185 175 those.. sry noob here..
185 175 is the width of the length of the tire.. by default its 5.5inch width rite?
will the front tires hit the fenders if it goes bigger than 5.5 inch?

175/185 is he width of the tyre and both can be fitted to the 5.5" rim....
the number is printed on the sidewall of the tyre... something like this 175/60R14 or 185/60R14 or the one supplied with Bestari is 175/65R14.... i had mine replaced from 175/65R14 to 185/60R14........ no problem and it doesnt touch the fender...... due to the wide tyre it give better grip but slow in pickup and lower top speed recorded by my GPS.........

Leroy87... dont worry.... we are all learning here... you'll get a better reply from the sifus on this topic

205/50

my GPS records a 1km/h difference.

my top speed, 170km/h. even with that, i feel that it is stressing out the poor engine.
