For the balance of performance and comfort!
your 166 is not comfortable? go for the 135M since you got the M-kit.

My 166 are quite harshness for HK road conditiion, that's why I need more comfort setup! 135M almost looked the same as 166, want to try something difference this time. But sure will go for OEM rim this time to avoid any probems might happen, ie. lower quality, centering spacer shims require, poorer tolerances,vibrates at high speed ... ... Maybe that's why OEM rim are so expensive!

Saw one replaced all the logo to BMW and X5 logo at the back... ... :thumbsdown: So funny, that guy really think he is driving a BMW!! HAHA
Wait till u see the interior of the SCEO. The steering wheel & instrumentation, plus the door trims, look much like BMW.

Hey that fake X5 looks good, how much are they selling for.

Yeah Jinbei, the fake Hiace. Drove one of those when I was in China getting my driver's license, it drives just like a Hiace.
They should be selling for between RMB100k to 200k. The engine is a Mitsubishi 4G64.
Jinbei is not really fake Hiace, cos it's built under licence from Toyota. Honda has tried, unsuccessfully, to sue Shuanghuan for copying it's CR-V (copycat is called SR-V).

But the middle part of the dash looks like a Toyota Hilux. They copied the steering wheel (up to those fake multifunction buttons) & door trims.
4G64 is fine motor, but this car rides on ladder frame chassis, so probably tough but unrefined.

It's a brand called 'Shuanghuan'. This company is expert in copying. They also make this:

China Brilliance makes 2 types of vehicles AFAIK. The 'Jinbei' (Toyota Hiace) & the 'Zhonghwa' (mid-sized saloon).
That's exactly what I saw! It has BMW badges on the hood, trunk, wheels and the X5 badge.

Try 124 with a stagger setup. Goes swell with the M-kit.
