oooh...
Raymond told me yoko advan sport is good for my ride.
actually i tot of brigdestone RE001, but he told me advan sport is better..

just did it 18/4/09.......hiaz

You will be disappointed with Advan Sport for a track use
U are better off getting the Advan Neova AD07

For a cheap track rims, perhaps u can consider the brand Privat...
Quite a few guys here are on them. Available at RayS Kaki Bukit

Gd luck

Sorry to hijack your tread...can't start my own cos aint authorised to do so yet.. being a newbie and all.

My question is more generic.
Looking for 18" light rims.
Being totally new to rims and tyres, hope that someone can help in indentifying a good brand to go for.

Ride is a E90 320i.

Budgetwise - hopefully below SGD4000 for rims and tyres.

Have seen OZ racing, its around 9kg per rim.
Kinda like it but think it is ex.
Package was close to 5K after current rims trade in (new rims).

I dont know what is the weight threshold that will cos the car's performance to deteroriate being a 320i. So targetting for as light as possible with my limited budget.

Appreciate if anyone would share their knowledge. Thanks.

For 18in good brand light weight wheels incl tires for 4k is difficult to get brand new...
An alternative is to go with Taiwan made wheels non forged which probably suit your budget. For Japanese n Italians, u can pretty much forget bout getting em given your budget.
Watch also for some used ones with decent conditions....

Gd Luck
