ALLOY RIMS for Suzuki Alto Suggestion required

[alto09]

Dear Experts,

I am using Suzuki Alto Model 09. Currently using it with the company fitted rims with dunlop 155/70 R12 Tires. I want to go for ALLOY RIMS. I need you kind suggestion, should i go for ALLOY RIMS. As i heard that they ALLOY RIMS actually damage the suspensions due to our road. Moreover i am frequently traveling out of city (LHR to Sialkot).

Looking for your kind suggestions,
Thanks

stick with stock size, your fuel consumption will stay rocking and the steering will stay much softer.

@alto09
alto stock size is 145/70 R12
not 155
go for nice alloys with tyre size155/70/R12 digi tyre eco are good grippy,n soft ones,155 width will keep ur steering light with alloys,u will definitely enjoy ur ride,R12 wont cause any damage to ur car R13 will ruin ur suspension

Thanks for your suggestions, Moreover what about 165/70 R12. As i am also thinking about the power steering. Still both are harmless. I mean tire size 165 and power steering.

Need someone’s hands on experience

I can not say anything about the wheels as I have kept my OEM, although I have got installed power steering and I LOVE IT... I will definitely recommend it to anyone who owns an Alto. Drive pleasure is great, cornering and parking is very easy now, steering feels light as feather.... LOVE IT!

EDIT: The usual questions I get asked after this, I am answering them now

No, it does not require ANY alteration, EPS(power steering) is bolt on fit from Japanese Alto
Yes, the steering gets HARD when the car goes above 60km/hr or a specific RPM is achieved
Two wires are taken from the EPS unit, one is attached to meter and other to engine bay RPM cable.
EPS+Installation cost was Rs.4,200

Alto Stock size is 145/80R12 not 145/70R12

It is a brotherly advice please don't go for bigger Rims Size.
As far as the tyre size is concerned,I think you should stick to 155.
A one step deviation from the stock size is harmless but not anything more than that.

Now coming to the Power Steering Issue,
I have installed EPS in my Suzuki Alto 09 since last year.
Alhumdullilah working perfect till now.No problem what so ever and no cutting of wiring etc.It has no connection with the engine of the car unlike HPS (Hydraulic Power Steering) so it is completely safe.

For the installation of the EPS, go to Bilal Gunj shop no 88.
The name of the person is Kamran Butt commonly known as Butt Sahab in Market.
His number is 03334310567.Give him my reference. He will give you the right thing.
Ask him to refer you to Electrician Shakeel.He is an expert in EPS.

I hope that I am able to answer all your queries.One more thing,before going to Bilal Gunj sms me one day before.I will talk to Butt Sahab to take care of you

My number is 03222948018
