I believed so few weeks ago, then I went to Kowloon side to check, including the one next to Megabox. That one quoted a high price for me. I understand the price quoted to a water fish swam to the shop will always be high, if you are not friend of someone.
Some comparable prices from the shop at tin hau for your refernce :
- full sets of 19" Breyton GTS rim with Z101 tire $22k, additional with 2k dedcution for my returned wheel and plus free 4 wheel alignment
- Z101 tire 245/35/R19 $1500 275/30/R19 $1700
- Yokohama S Drive 245/35/R19 $2100 275/30/R19 $2500
Quite competitive compared with the price given by Capt 16".
I had quite good expernience with this shop till now. He quoted me the Advan wheel and I told him I concerned about the Chrome colour; then he orderd 1 from the dealer and showed me the real one the next day, even though I did not spend any in the his shop yet.

The price sounds okay but try to ask for another 1k deduction on wheels,
Trust me DZ101 will be good enough for most situations, unless you are street racer

The 3rd and 4th are replica, and i don't want replica for 1) I want a lighter one 2) if I spend 16k for a set of replica, why not 22k with a brand name. that's my wife told me when he bought her handbag.

I like the second one most among all, but still not too okay. I am still seraching.

Trust me, light wheel wont do anything, the look is far more important.

Maybe your hifi system keep waking up your car (We have sleep mode for our car) and that drain the battary.
Dont ignore this problem mate as it might cause other electronical faults in long term.
