In goes 17" Wedsport SA70

The inevitable happened this afternoon when one of the tyres had punctured on my way from Putrajaya towards my office. After a quick fix by the road side, I went to Hup Soon Sunway and end up with this Wedsport SA70 with 215/40/17 Bridgestone Potenza RE001 Adrenalin. At the moment, I'm pretty dismayed by the lateral grip of this jambatan batu ..... if things really goes south I'm going to trade these for RSR!! Having said that, now I'm officially broke :(

Goodbye buttercups rims

It fills the gap better than 16"

Have to do something of the center caps which got it FOC... people would be think it's a ASPAL (Asli Palsu) hahaha

Almost but didn't materialized

I’ve to confess, I’m a sucker for SSR Type C rims and getting up 1” bigger could and should give a wee bit better feel to the car. A week back with salary routinely transferred in, my fingers got unusually itch. Dropped in Hup Soon Sunway quite early on Saturday morning, I’ve decided to go for cheapskate way by getting myself a replica with norm 205/40/17 Bridgestone RE001 Adrenalin. But unfortunately, one rim of that replica is having unusually wide width and because they only carry one set, I had to postpone this silly upgrade. In the meantime, I need to study if 215/40/17 can fit without scrapping the fenders.

New shoes for Pocong ... almost anyway!

205/40/17 is too narrow for my eyes

This one (above) is the culprit!

Almost being a Bridgestone convert .... hahaha
