Thanks Guys!!!!


I had around 200kms yesterday to learn about the car. The Max speed i touched was around 120. Car felt stable until 100 after that i was not confident may be due to the sleek JK tyres 165/80 R14.

I am thinking about to upgrading to alloys and bigger tyres. The problem is that i am not able to find 98pcd rims. Only HRS alloys are made for 98pcd's.

I was not able to do proper PDI on the delivery day will be doing it today.

Do a proper PDI, and also I would suggest you to follow simple rule of waiting for 30 seconds after starting engine from cold start. During run-in period keep the RPMs lower than 2 - 2.5K. It will help the engine immensely.

As a suggestion you can check for E+ OEM alloys, as they might be available in after-market. But you may have to try hard. IMO, those alloys look the best with Punto
