The dealer took my original 17 inch rims and tires and gave me 20000 baht credit.

The new wheels and tires came out to 52000 baht. So I payed 32000 baht  cash.

Not bad

is the S in the Nitto tyres speed rating? If so thats only 180kmh at 25C, or 160kmh safe speed in LOS heat

I think they are V rated according to this site. But I never drive faster than 140KMH.

The V rating claims a maximum speed of 149MPH.

]Installed these today at a shop in Chaeng Wattana.

Lenso Intimidator 4 Rims

Size 20X9

Nitto NT420S Tires

Size 265/50/20

Not cheap either.

Th kit itself isn't too bad on price 20k for fiber, 30k for ABS fitted + painted , but to make it look as pictured you'll need to spend another 30-40k on twin exhausts, which will also invalidate the entire drivetrain and ECU warranty.. And it's not easily/cheaply un-doable (when servicing) like a chip, dump pipe or EGR block

The BKK shop where I saw it claim that the twin exhaust is for show and part of the rear spoiler. That in fact it's cosmetic. But I don't know for sure.

I have an unrelated question. Does changing rims and tires invalidate the PJS warranty?

I was thinking about getting this. Anyone seen a PJS with this kit installed.  

I replaced the IRC tires on my Elegance with Michelin M45 and have been very happy with the Michelins.

In Bangkok you can find them at a lot of shops.

My name is Elmer J. Fudd, I own a mansion and a yacht.

I agree, good beer and food.

I've had a Hotmail account since 1998. Almost never use it.

The trouble I have with this is that the customs police are usually tipped off before arrival. Who is tipping this off and what is their motive?

My guess would be the same guys who are slipping larger quantities pass the customs.

Never been asked for a green book whilst riding the scooter. I have been asked for DL,  but always carry an old expired Cali DL that I show them.

Never had a problem.

Makes you wonder how many are getting through?

Cycle Sports on Vorachak Street, just north of Yaowarat. They are the importers for Merida. It's run by the owners son. Very knowledgeable. Good selection of parts and accessories.

Most of the shops are open on sundays, but they close earlier. 

There is a night market in Ratchawong street in Yaowarat that opens at midnight on Saturdays.

Also there is a night market at Saphan Poot, just north of  Yaowarat.

I rarely use my car, mostly ride the motorcycle.

The car is for out of town trips.

Have you ever heard of a water heater?
