Can any one help me out in locating an Alloy Wheel repairer in Bangalore? Any help in this matter is much appreciated.

Hi tsk13,Still on silverstone.wanted to change them but no time (don't ask me how?) hahaha anyway made up my mind coz its just gonna be in-city driving so i guess its ok rite? anyway you'll be the first one to know if and when i change them

Buddy, first of all thanks. I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment on Silverstone performace even in case of city driving, but there has been Manan's Swift case and on the other hand, another Team Bhpian whose friend's car is running fine on Silverstones.

Drive safe is all what I can say.

All the best.

hey lambo bro the tyres look undeflated.

After going through this Marathon long thread of 140 pgs twice and looking at thousand wheels, bothering couple of members, I finally made the decision. Zenopio and SKrules --> Thanks for your valuable advice! Appreciate it!

Alloy Brand: HR
Cost: 24k (including nuts, chrome necks, balancing, spare spanner)

Tyres : Yokohama S drive - 205/50/R16
Cost: Rs 6250 per piece

Total Cost: Rs 49,000.

I know!!! same exact expression when I heard the cost, but then I was already sold on the design the day I saw Zenopio's wheels.

Place: Hot tracks

Experience: The guy is costly, but has the best range of alloys.

Let me know what you think

PS: 50 profile is not for Indian roads! With Swift's jarring suspension and 50 profile tyres - Harsh ride guaranteed!!!

nice wheels anand. hot tracks has the best collection in all the shops i have seen too. at the rear of your car there is only one mud flap. put the missing one. it will be uniform.

ankitahuja · 23rd June 2009, 16:28

Great wheels Anand!

HR 031 is a fantastic design. Going to get a set for my friend's i10 this weekend

Does someone know how much do these cost in 14" ?

Thank you! Guys

Checked with Maruti, they say only set of 4 available. Since I did not want to buy all 4, decided to check in JC road if 1 piece is available.

faithless_1984 · 23rd June 2009, 21:18

The alloys look great anand.!!
I really like this design.

chargerman · 23rd June 2009, 21:56

@Chargerman, Superb wheels there. It would really fun to drive in such type of cars.

Thanks for sharing with us.

prince_pervez · 23rd June 2009, 22:53

Wow! Do you have some more pics of the Evo 10. Seems like the Punto also has the similar alloy design as the Evo.
