If u want to upgrade to Prado, better get the 4.0 for ultimate satifaction. Well, this is a .. "she's happy, I'm happy" thing. The 2.7 cannot perform well, it'll be a total turnoff 1/2 way driving.

if tyres and rims at SGD2.5K for the 18" than it is considered reasonably priced ... "cheap" is a dirty word ... got ppl say we chose Sportage over Tuc-tuc because its cheaper you know ... dont get re-con tyres ... they are safety hazards ... 2nd hand rims are okay but not tyres ... example ... its okay to by a 2nd hand make up kit but never buy a used lipstick ... becos you never knew where those lips have gone to ... conti tyres are expensive and usually reserved for upper class society drivers ... falcon tyres are almost as good its just that its more for the budget concious drivers ... for me ... i use Hankook tyres becos ... I believe nothing fits better that Korean tyres on my Korean ride ... even my rims now are from Korea ... off the old Hyundai Santa Fe ... eh ... by my 17" rims lah i got 2 pcs ... very reasonably priced ....

hi butt ....
the 2 pcs of rims for sale is becos the other 2 pcs was damaged and thrown away ... i got 4pcs second hand rims from a tyre shop ... this 4 pcs previously belong to hyundai santa fe pre-2007 model ... those deep dish type ... it looks good enuff for me ...
i have seen cars with different front and rear rims sets ...
usually the front use 16" but the rear use 17" so it makes the car look slanted forward ... for that aggressive look ...
hankook and kumho tyres are korean brands of tyres ... when you collect your car ... usually its factory fitted with kumho tyres ...
and with regards to FC ... usually for heavy SUV like sportage changing the rim size have little to no effect due to the fact that the 2.0 litre engine generate enuff torque to overcome the higher rotational inertia of the bigger rims ...
for small smaller capacity cars below 1.6 cc engine ... changing the rims to bigger and heavier ones will increase the FC substantially ...
last but not least ... looking good has never been "cheap"

stock rims are those that comes with the car when u get them fresh from the oven, usually people will just trade them in for something lighter/sportier/swee-er...
