Ok.. since i cant find a suitable rims for my 206, (maybe i am abit too choosey).. and since i am goin to JB anyway, i decided to try my luck there....
Started my journey from KL around 4.pm.. and reaches Sg.Besi Toll at 4.45pm.. wahh damn jam.. normally it would took about 20mins only.. sigh~.. anyway went straight toward JB and reaches there about 7.15pm.. damn tired... along the way there is like 1 petrol car on every 10-20km!.... didnt go fast around 110kmph-130kmph and sometimes 150+kmph when overtaking cars or goin down hills hehe..

2nd day, Alvan decided to take me to Pelangi to search for the rims... and we been to about 7-8 tyre shop but none of them got any.. no PCD 108 at all!... then on one of the last shop.. finally there is one... went inside, there owner had to dig deep.. really digging deep into his rims collections and found one...
Well this is the only rims that i've found... not really my type tho... sigh~.. selling for about rm1600 damn expensive... the owner said it is supposely made in Japan and the rims cap written made for BBS... (like i care)..
Oh well.. been searching for about 4-5 hours still no luck, so we call it a day... coz we were goin to a party later on at Alvin's house (my others cousin)
While on the way to the party, we pass by the JB Nasim showroom and just at the enterance i saw a white 206.. ! brand new manual... looks nice... for me its either black or white is the best look on a car... but i didnt managed to take a picture.. as it was quite dark, around 8.00pm and the security guard were abit worry seeing our car stop outside infront of the gate hehe..
Day 3 (last day)
After failing to looks fo the rims in JB.. well i kinda let go the idea of getting it here.. so in the morning we went to shopping at JJ with Alvan and his family... and suddenly i saw a counter selling rims!... oh must go and had a look... seems like they are doin some promotion.. so i went there and ask the fellow about the 15" for pug. Sadly he told me there is only 16" and show me the picture of it from the catalog.

Well currently they are doing the promotion so this rims cost rm1100.. normal price rm1300... wah! so many spokes....
Then i checkout the company, seems like they are from Stamford Wheels.. and whats more they are from K.L!... lol i come all the way here to buy a rims from K.L? Anyway i didnt get it as.. its still 16" altho it the best design from the rest of others PCD108 rims that i saw before...

Started my journey home at 9.00pm.. reaches K.L at 11.20pm... long journey... damn tired man..
Today went out with Andrew again hehehe... this time we went to met one of his friend Yee for lunch and chatted abit. Yee is the person that Andrew told me about his a problems with his 406 AL4 gearbox which was 'infected' by water. We had a long chat about the problems and i also learned alot about it.. (will post out more detail in future) Seems like the AL4 gearbox is something that quite hard to tame... problems of water goin in, jerking, slips disc etc... hope mine doesnt had the problems or else ...sigh~.. for flushing already cost rm7-8k!! touch wood, touch wood...
On the way home after lunch, i told Andrew about the Stamford Wheel and we went to Tmn Maluri to look for the shop, while in the car i was browsing the catalog and found this nice looking rims.. well my go and try my luck there..
The shop is located next to the Mayban at the corner lot.. not alot of rims there and they are selling Falken tyre.. went in and saw the same rims from the catalog! but it is 17" and not Pug PCD... so i ask the owner about the 15" PCD 108 and he told me yes they have!... yay!!!! but ... there is always but.. sigh~ he need to check the stock.. and he only be able to do it in these 2 days.. ah.... seems like i had to wait abit then... just hope that i am not that bad luck..

5 spokes, clean, tidy and smart
Remember about the wheel arc from the last posting? Yup i finally got it installed!... well DIY ofcourse... i got the wheel arc from Andrew.. seems like hes been keeping it for almost 3 years hehe.. i guess the arc is waiting for the right owner.. me!
The manual so call book la...
serial/part no. original from Peugeot Australia
No wheel arc...
Wheel arc!
Wheel arc on all 4 side
Now.. what do i think of the wheel arc... frankly speaking, the car looks good without wheel arc on a 14" rims with 175/65/14 tyre.. but, it will looks more aggrasive or so call garang on a bigger rims and low profile tyre..
So now is a must to get my bigger rims!!!!! hopefully the Stamford Wheel got it.... gonna call them in 2 days time and... pray la...
Thanks to Alvins and Jes for the hospitality in JB.. and i missed elsa too...
Thanks to Andrew for helping me search for the rims and Yee for the AL4 gearbox info...
