Even the roads are in pretty poor condition too....
Only good road for spirited driving is to Stanley/Shek O, but that is always blocked by double decker buses etc...
The drive into Sai Kung coountry park is quite good, isnt it?

Thanks a lot! I know Taiwan rims are heavier, just not quite sure to what extent it will affect the starting and consumption.
Looking forward to another gathering!

I see.. will adding lead ("dun tyre", balancing the wheel) help?
Thanks for your advice!
Personally, I don't like the Taiwan wheels much, you'd need to use hub rings, and no matter how well you got it made, most of the time you will feel the vibrations from steering wheel ranging from 70km/h to 120km/h, I had 3 different sets made and all failed to stop the vibration... just my two cents

I've done it once during day time and it was quite beautiful and fun. There is a parking lot in the middle where there is a small food store offering good noodles.

There are so many types of Taiwan rims... the brands/styles are just copying the real one so I don't know how to specify which one it is. (actually they all looks good...)
Thanks!
Thanks!

also for concave wheels it is even easyer becasue Taiwan can not make deep concave rims. Dont know why???
even the copy 177 are not that deep compare to the real 1s

Just stick to the OEM first, so you don't get yourself into trouble would be my two cents, only do mods that you won't regret later is a wiser choice...
Trust me, you are in no rush and don't mind these devils' temptationS here... I promise I won't tempt you... yet
