What to do with 18" rims?
As freq readers know, I am thinking of exporting a RX8 back to Taiwan. However, 18" might be too much for the road condition there. Is it possible to ask dealer to swap the 18" for 16" and then ask for a discount? They will probably get the $$$ back on the other car.

Not likely - the cars with 18" wheels also have larger brakes, and there is little chance that the 16" wheels can fit over the larger brakes. Some of us have bought 17" wheels to use for winter tires, but you still have to be careful to ensure that your 17" wheel of choice fits - not all do!

yep, remember the "taxi wars" a couple years back? crazy ****, the whole country was at war, people were being beaten and killed.
also EVERYONE in taiwan who drives(which isnt alot since most plp use scooters) carries some sort of weapon in their car. most likely a bat, but some carry swords, meat clevers, and what not.
its hardcore **** in taiwan

WA-KAW! Where in Taiwan do you live? If I was working in Taipei, I wouldn't need a car. But I will live in the South to be close to my family as my parents are hitting the big 7-0 soon.
