You got a good deal for PS2 man. Wondering what's the price for PSS shipped to HK? You ordered the tires with your wheels together in order to save shipping cost?

Hi all, just came back from 5Wheel and i got to say the service was amazing. Although i already told him at start that i was only browsing, the guy there was so kind to bring down a few wheels from shelves to have me weight them.
Anyways, he quoted me 6k/rim for F14 and ordering takes 2 months. All he has in stock now is matte black which i think it's too racer. I was planning to go for titanium which it looks good in the pictures on Forgestar website, but he suggested not to go for the titanium on my Sophisto grey car (dark grey car + grey wheels = not good). He said either go for textured gunmetal or hyper silver. So which color do you guys think is more suitable for my car to make it more classy? As for the tires, I told him that I want something quite and comfortable. He recommanded 1) Nitto (invo) and 2) Bridgestone Re001. They have about the same price (around $10500/set). Are these better than the Michelin you guys talked about? thanks alot. |

Michelin pss will beat those hands down in handling and comfort. But will probably cost close to 16k

Agree with mlai. S. Gray and gunmetal may be too close. You can check out AsiaKid's car. Same combo. If you have black like me. gunmetal is alright. But I have the gloss gunmetal. Lighter under sunlight. Hyper silver will bring out the contrast. But most rims even OE are silver. So up to you. Difficult choice.
PSS is the best. If you don't mind a few more k just go for it. I regret I got the cheaper Advan Sport, very noisy and harsh. I would take PSS if I swap.

What about titanium? Is this color appears in between gunmetal and hyper silver?? The guy said titanium looks dark when in shade and lighter when under sunlight. That sounds nice.

mlai's car isn't that low. For any springs you probably have at least 1 to 1.5 finger gap. Members here with coilovers has 0.5 finger gap and some have front lips. They don't have problem over bumps.
For Forgestar F14, do they offer brushed titanium anymore? I remember it's discontinued and so has the two tone mlai is talking about. You may double check, may be they do custom finish.

As a comparison, this is what it used to look like with textured gunmetal F14: Last edited by mlai; 11-05-2011 at 07:44 PM.. |

hi bros,
I am new member as well and really amazed when I see your stunning cars! Honestly, I preferred a relatively quiet and less bumpy car for my newborn! certainly not want too spend too much! 19"vs 20", ACS vs HR? what color of rims will you suggest? mine is space gray. Is Zillion located in Sanpokong or TKW(anhui street)? also which type of H&R spring are you referring to? Do you installed TPMS for those nonRFT? |

20" will be bumpier than 19" but looks much better. If you are not a frequent driver on harsh roads like the mainland, go for the 20" ACS will sit higher than H&R and H&R cheaper. Only one type of H&R springs for 523/528/535. Z just relocated to Sunpokong. No TPMS for HK F10, only sensors but not at the wheels. No problem on swapping wheels.

That's ok bro. No need to apologize. I hope every one here could have good mods.
Just go through the threads in this asia section, you will find loads of info. And you can use the search function on the upper bar. Cheers and have fun with your F10.
