OEM 13" Steel Rims - City 2004-06 PKDM

[Navqam]

Dear All, can anyone share specs/pics of City 2004-06 PKDM OEM 13" Steel Rims printed/engraved on the rim. I need a set of 04 rims along with 16 nuts (OEM collar type to hold plastic wheel cap). Experts also shed some light on its width and base where holes are located; is it normal for all 13" rims or varies for different cars? I mean is it different for a smaller car? (Alto JDM etc). If anyone wants to sell (04 Rims & 16 Nuts), pls contact me, I am in Rawalpindi. TIA...

I am pretty sure you can get these from any good wheels and tire vendor.
Getting them brand new is another question.

Request to: @dayrider @hash4u & respected members of Rawalpindi & Islamabad. Someone took away (Stole) my car's all 4 wheels (rims & tyres) a few days back. I borrowed wheels from a friend. I am not interested in alloy rims available in the market easily. I found some OEM rims in the market but need to verify the specs. Above all, I have to return the borrowed ones, so, its a little urgent please.

[dayrider]

Actually city steel rims would be found in Sultan ka khu, I am not certain any tire shop would keep them for so long. Will you buy wheel caps later?

It was nice talking to you a while back. Thanks for the concern, regarding subject. I will definitely visit M/s Asad Iqbal Tyre in Saddar Rawalpindi.
Regards.

[dayrider]

Let me know how it goes

I also visited him last year, upon recommendations of Dayrider, but did not buy tyres from him due to my own reasons (and from the shop which I bought later, I deeply regretted and repented. He sold me smuggled tyres, despite being authorised dealer of Bridgestone).

Asad Sb. is thorough gentleman, and very khulla dulla aadmi.

I am quite hopeful that your experience of buying tyres from him would be good. IN SHA ALLAH.

[Navqam]

Sure, i will update.

[dayrider]

the shop which I bought later, I deeply regretted and repented

thats is truly sad man, you did so much research about tires for so many months and while purchasing you didn't check the date?

[anon35615524]

Yes Brother. You are absolutely right. I did extensive research, and for many months, but still, trust trust k chakkar mein ma'ar khaa gya...

I did check the date of manufacture of tyres. It did not seem old (provided it had been legitimate) so I bought them, but issue was not of date of manufacture of tyres, it was trust issues.

[dayrider]

it was trust issues.

how did you find out that they were struggled tires?

[Navqam]

I also need to purchase 04 tyres for my Civic-1988 (for which rims are required). Present size is/was 175-70-R13. Kindly advise good and reliable brand of tyres. Can i install 185-65-R13 instead? Any negative impact on control, driving and fuel economy? Do you recommend Asad Iqbal Tyres for purchasing new tyres? TIA.

Brother I have mentioned complete details in my Vitz thread.

Let me share the posts here too:

Tires for my ride: I bought tires from HS Traders, Saadi Road (Near Kashmir Road), Rawalpindi Saddar, however, what actually happened? It turned out to be a Nightmare! I URGE ALL TO NOT BUY TIRES FROM HS TRADERS, IF YOU ARE IN SEARCH OF GENUINE IMPORT TIRES! HS TRADERS ARE ONE OF THE OFFICIAL DEALERS OF BRIDGESTONE TIRES IN RAWALPINDI, BUT STILL... ALSO SELL SMUGGLED TIRES! (I will explain all the details in a separate thread, IN SHA ALLAH, so that everyone becomes aware. Tires are working a…

Yes, he had sold me smuggled tyres! Everyone, beware of this seller, if in need of genuine import tyres. @dms664 Brother before making my final decision that I would buy tyres from him, I contacted him telephonic and confirmed a few things. He seemed honest, and then, when his details were also mentioned on the official Bridgestone website for Pakistan, I got satisfied. Finally, when I visited him to buy tyres, I again reiterated that I need proper, genuine import tyres with warranty. In 1…

why treadwear temp n traction ratings are missing on these tires?

Yes. I have just checked, and to my surprise, they ain't there, and if observed closely after zooming in, then it seems as if someone grinded them off or may be, they weren't mentioned in the first place (which seems highly unlikely). Tread wear indicators / markings were although there in the tread grooves of tyres.

fishy. if grinded then the manufacture date is also fishy interestingly i have checked my cars n the one with smuggled dunlop the numbers are shaved check the imported non smuggled continental n it got all the numbers

Yes. It may be true. That's Great to know, and ALLAH Pa'ak hamaray karobari logo'on ko Hidayat Dein, aur Imaandaar Bnayein. Amen. Sum-Ameen. There are little-to-No business ethics in some businessmen' Even if a shopkeeper is seliling smuggled tyres, and at the cost of smuggled tyres, then he must clearly tell the potential buyer, that the tyre is smuggled one, and these are its Pros and Cons. Conceal to tub karay, agar ussnay smuggled tyre; genuine, import tyre ki price p sell karna ho…

[dayrider]

yes, Asad tires is the place to go for fresh tires of all varieties as well as a decent variety of good quality rims. Vehicle will lose height by some milimeters and fuel economy might have a slight effect(negligible). Grip will increase with it.

[dayrider]

8500 for original bridgestone is a warning sign in itself, anyways. Hope they serve you well, many people use them, just be careful with them and try for replacement in 3 years

[Navqam]

You mean 'Asad Tires' Yokohama Dealers at Saadi Road ?
