"Hi drives" or in other words "Stocking". — Toyota Windom, 2.5 liter, 1999
As practice has shown, riding on large 18 discs with a low rubber profile is not such a terrible undertaking. The truth is not so terrible, it is only in the city. One has only to go somewhere out of town in the direction of Kapchagay or to the country to soak up the sun or splash in some water, and immediately all the mood spoils these unfortunate 40-60 minutes of a trip along country roads. In general, slowly, the rubber began to grow not big ... and big bumps too, strong blows were given directly to the brain, and in general, I just started to get very tired of such a ride. And one fine Sunday evening when I was driving home from the dacha, the asphalt suddenly disappeared from under the wheels. As a result, what a bump, a bent disk, as well as a lot of bad words in the direction of our roads. Of course, I had plans to buy narrower tires,
Well, I think you need to remove these wheels and put your old tags, but then I received an offer to mash my wheels to stock ones from Camry 40 (R16). As a result, the guy looked at my wheels, I showed him / explained the jambs on rubber / disks, they almost scared him, and as a result, they changed wheels the same evening, in addition, he gave me another hackneyed winter kit and paid extra 15 thousand tenge. It's a good deal in my opinion.
After a month of driving, I can say that absolutely all roads have been repaired outside the city)
The machine goes smoothly, nothing beats in general buzz. You can even safely switch the shock absorbers to Sport mode and are not afraid that it will be tough, on the contrary, even the car stops jumping like a boat on the waves. You also don’t notice at all how you pick up speed up to 120 km.h., on the previous eights at 100 it was already uncomfortable, throwing from side to side and I wanted to throw off the gas.
Not so beautiful, but there are undoubtedly advantages in this ... The deal is really good))
but the fact that it is missing, I did not notice 8-)
but the same ones are available on a set of winter disks.
Congrats on the "new" wheels.
yes, the view is less attractive ... but the comfort when driving is noticeably greater.
and 16 tires are much easier to find ... than 18. well, cheaper.
PS: where is the center cap?
IMHO 16 is the last practical size for your car. But love looks better than relatives.
All of these immediately took to comfort))
For me, the main plus of these discs is that there is no chrome)
And so - the design is mediocre))
Didn't change anything, everything is original. Dimensions www.drive2.ru/l/4062246863888259053/
Can you tell me how you stuck 18 discs in Windom, put some inserts or changed the studs. I also want to put wheels on 18.
