However, I have changed new tyres BS RE001 before knowing you guys. So the tyres are damn new, just 3 months ago. And I am very happy with the RE001. If I change 19" rim and tyre now, I lost a lot on it.

So, I am thinking of changing to new 17" rim (second hand) until the existing 17" tyres dead and require to change. It should cost not much for a set of second hand 17" rim. It serves two purposes: (a) give me a fresh feeling on the rim; (b) save my wallet for a moment.

But I have a bit feeling that this action is stupid, so 15/16
Believe me, your rims are fine. They look alright.
Stick with your RE001.


I might change to Michelin PS2 next year

Watch out in wet road. Falken is good on dry road at that price. But on wet road, I suggest you reserve double distance to stop if you are driving fast and full load.

I always said I will keep that car for about 2 years, so not worth to mod it after 1 year.
