If its not too far for you, there is a place in Kandy Rd - Weveldeniya, Just before the Ve#dol L#n#a facotry. They have a huge collection of alloys, but not sure about the price. If your heading that way make a stop n see... good luck!

I think I saw the spot in Maradana. Need to check it out though.. Will check out the Kelaniya spot as well..

Most of them have more or less the same standard type alloys. What I'm looking is used sports alloys. Can't afford a new one which is available is most locations..

Thanks for your input.. Gives me a list of locations I can add to my check list..

a price list...

13" - 15,000

14" - 27,000

15" - 36,000

16" - 41,000

17" - 65,000

18" - 140,000

They said pattern doesn't matter.

All these are for brand new alloys.

Almost everywhere you find only Chinese ones.

Does anybody know a place to get Japanese ones? I've heard that the build quality is far superior in the Jap ones.

the prices for brandnew alloys were about 26K when i checked and the used ones were starting at about 16k,, are you sure these are brand new alloys, because i went checking for 12 inch alloys in Jan this year.

Performance alloys are usually lighter and stronger than normal ones, and as a result, are more expensive.

Hi Guys,

I'm thinking to change my current 15Inch alloy wheels to 14Inch to feel more comfort ride. Currently my Ek3 has 195/55/15 tires and planning to change them to 185/65/14. I have 2 issues to sort out before going for the change.

1. What are the things that should consider when buying Chinese used alloys?

2. Will it really feel a comfort ride with the change?

Please help me to get a decision change the wheels and tire or not.

It will really appreciate all the ideas.

Many Thanks.

don't go for a used Chinese.... usually Chinese stuff come brand new will cost about 28/- for 14

used ones are from japan... checkout JJ at mount or delkanda.

abt the handling and how comfortable would it be - if ur originally EK3 came with 14' then deffa that what's the car was made for - jus my opinion.

check with an expert however. i aint an expert too..

and also... whats the prob with the 15's?

Thanks for the reply. Yes original wheel size is 14".

15" is uncomfortable and it makes a stiff ride. I have to replace bushes time to time. Now several noises coming from rear end.

I just swapped my 15" tires with 14" of my friend. It gives me extra comfort tham 15". So I thought of replacing alloys and tires to 14".

I got a deal for Honda Original 14" alloys for 16k. What do you guys say is it worth buying?

[malinda7]
