Tom, the 124 was S$800+ each, but you may get 25% in June. You can definitely get all narrower or wider rims. My Pirelli was S$500+, my 16" were worth $600, but heard the 17" can fetch $900 when new. I hope I answer all your Qs.
Meng, the Tiger is roaring, thanks. Black CF is nicer. White ones too Ah Beng.

You can have it switched on all the time. A few posts back Yankee described it. But you still have to manually switch to the video input (in this case video 4 should be used). I don't like it because the CCD/CMOS sensors are permanently powered up, which may shorten its life span. The life span I guess would depend on how good the sensors are.

I have style 124 on all 4 wheels - bought them at PML. Switched from the original 16" rim after 6 months. The noise level is much higher than 16" but after a while, you will not notice it. Also, the steering will feel some road vibration but overall still ok. But if you change before collecting car from PML, then you will not notice all these. PML only accepts trade in if you change the rims and tyres before collecting car.

thinking of going for star spoke 124. 245 front and 275 rear. will check with pml if i can order 245 x 4 pieces all round rather than the std set 245 x 2pcs & 275 x2 pcs.
is yours lowered? or stock std? where did you get your rims? could you let me know how much they cost you for the rims and tyres separately?
