Nexa dealers dont have 16" alloys.
All they have is for Scross which has 5 holes where as Baleno has only 4 holes.

Go for some aftermarket alloys. But keep in mind that you will not get a good amount for the stock alloys. Better to sell them to Delta and Sigma variant owners if they are interested.

Thanks Sandeep, but does these 4 or 5 holes make any difference in driving performance of the car?

Leave aside driving performance. if the car has 4 holes in stock tyres then you can only fit those alloys which comes with 4 holes.

Hello All,

This is my first post in TAI and its been pleasure going through all the post and reviews. Special thanks to the moderator for accepting the membership.

To start with i have booked Maruti Suzuki Baleno Alpha Ray blue on 21st May 2016 from Kalyani Nexa and the waiting period told was about 5 months. I would like to know if anyone else has booked on the same/nearby dates?

Also, I have the following queries,

1. Is it possible to compensate the bumpy ride using different profile types? (Please excuse if my query is not proper/relevant here as i am new to the automotive field)

2. Since this is my first car, i would need some expert opinion on the VFM in terms of Alpha and Zeta MT petrol

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Krishna

Hey buddy,

Yes I have taken the delivery. soon will post pics with accessories as asked my baker. sorry a bit held up with work that's y couldn't post any pics after the delivery. About initial impressions ride quality is very good and a really quite and roomy cabin. within a week mileage has gone upto 17.5 kmpl in city pretty impressed with that. all controls are easy to use and so many customisable settings in MID. I didn't go above 2k rpm and not crossing 60kmph, till first service planning to maintain the same. I feel bumpy when there is no passenger at the back. but it's nly on bad roads. otherwise car is well planted and the brakes gives you more confident while applying. Projector light throw is pretty decent compared to halogen lights and the white lights are really awesome just loving it. Engine is very silent have to check the power and torque meter to confirm the engine running.. Soon will post the pics.
