Still on Rims Thingy - I've Done Sleek, Now I Can Live with Cute
Each time I buy a new car, the rims and tyres almost always disappointment me. That's because they tend to be a tad too small for the wheel wells, leaving a disproportionate gap between the tyre and wheel well - check out the Madza 2's rims and tyres for instance.
Of course, I try not to upgrade to larger rims. At the most, I'd put in bigger tyres, at least in the beginning. After a year, I start getting the upgrade-to-bigger-rims itch.
Funny thing is, I don't think there's really anything wrong with just settling for smaller, cute looking rims and tyres.
But the itch just settles in and I just have to upgrade.
Fortunately, now that I've done that with my Kia Forte, I can live with cute. And I like cute. In fact, I can even live with donut-looking tyres, because I've done sleek by getting low profile tyres and larger rims with my Forte.
:P
