I think we did a HK route few years back. Not many multi lane hwy and from point A to point B is just too short. BTW, the police is more hostile in the HK side.

My wheels are original 17" and I am thinking about 19" Taiwan rims. Any comment about that? The price is really attractive...

Wellcome
You just missed out on a very good meetup yesterday night.
There were over 20 cars which is very rare for us

Taiwan rims are ok the down side is the wight.
I used to have 2 set of Taiwan rims.
ACS 19" and 177 18"

I have done 2MD and 2ND on the HK side
I dont know why but I never liked driving on the HK side for MD or ND, maybe the roads are too short.

The route should be shared thru PM or a printout before the run, just my two cents
