Does it void the warranty .. have mixed voices from here and there.. some said yes.. some said nope.. even my SA said they can do it for us. Better get B&W before doing anything.

I saw a Forte EX at Auto city 2 weeks back.. the car is yet registered with a license plate but already have a set of rims on it. The SA told me, the customer bought the rims to them to fit. Looks like they allowed changing of rims.

that's for the oem tires warranty... what ppl worry is when they change rim effects the whole car warranty which shouldn't unless its 15" to 20" that'll kill the bearings in a few mths....

Hi guys,

Im just wondering since some reviews are saying that the Forte 1.6 SX with 17inch rims seems a bit much, would it be adviseable to downgrade to 16 or 15 inch rims for more comfy ride and better FC? What would we be sacrificing and what is the downside of doing this? Also, do you know if we can get it done via the SA/Naza w/o affecting warranties? This will save me the hassle of looking a buyers for the 17" and negotiating prices for the new rims. Or do you think that 17 inch tyres are suitable for this ride? Of course I know getting the forte 1.6 EX solves this problem, but the SX has a lot more gadgets then the EX and in my opinion a better value for money/bagain. Appreciate your opinion.
