Need Mags Reco for Innova (Newbie mistake: accidentally bought fake Rays)

Hi everyone! Seeking some help and recommendations for our Toyota Innova (Gray).

The Backstory:
Unfortunately, my mom and I bought "Thai copy" Rays wheels recently. It was an honest mistake—we didn't do enough research and we are both very inexperienced when it comes to the aftermarket scene. Since our stock 16s were already damaged, we rushed into buying these without realizing the safety risks of replicas for a heavy MPV.

Now we want to do it right and get a reliable, legitimate set of mags that won’t give us peace-of-mind issues on the road.

Specs & Preferences:
Current Tires: Sailun Atrezzo 225/55R17 (We’ll be keeping these).
Vehicle Color: Gray.
Look: Looking for something with a "low profile" or clean aesthetic that complements the gray paint.
Budget: Mid-range (Looking for "Bang for buck" but 100% authentic/durable).

Looking for:

  1. Brand Recommendations: Which brands are known for being "Innova-tough" but still look stylish? (Thinking Rota, Konig, Advanti, etc.?)
  2. Shop Recommendations: Where are the most trusted/legit sellers (preferably around Metro Manila or Laguna area)?
  3. Style Advice: Which colors go best with a gray Innova? Bronze? Gunmetal? Matte Black?

Hoping to learn from your expertise so we don't make the same mistake twice. Thank you!

33M Career Switch: 10 YOE Graphic Designer looking to pivot into SAP. Realistic?

The Situation:
I’ve been a graphic designer for 10 years, currently working a comfortable WFH setup. However, work has been slowing down, I’m feeling burned out, and AI is rapidly changing the design landscape. I'm looking to pivot into a more stable, long-term career in tech.

My Background & The Pivot:
I hold degrees in Computer Engineering and IT (with a specialization in Digital Arts). I only ever pursued the digital arts track, which led to my 10-year design career. While I am familiar with core tech concepts (databases, networking, programming logic), I am not a strong coder.

Because of this, I am heavily leaning toward SAP Functional roles. Specifically, SAP FICO caught my eye because I have a strong personal interest in investing, portfolio management, and finance, and I enjoy looking at the structural side of things.

My Plan:
I can't quit my day job yet, so my plan is to study SAP via free courses on weekends. If the logic clicks for me, I’ll invest in certifications and make the jump. I am fully prepared to take a pay cut and start from the bottom as a trainee.
My Questions:

  1. Is this a realistic path? Does a 10-year-old IT degree hold any weight at all for HR, or is it basically obsolete?
  2. The Competition: How fierce is the entry-level SAP market right now? How does a 33-year-old switcher compete with fresh grads or global talent?
  3. WFH Prospects: I value my current remote setup. Are SAP roles strictly on-site, or is WFH possible once you learn the ropes?
  4. Late Switchers: Anyone else here pivot into Enterprise Tech/SAP in their 30s? What was your experience like?

My Background & Goal:
I actually have an IT degree, but I graduated 10 years ago and only ever pursued the digital arts side of it. I understand basic tech logic (databases, networking) but I am not a strong coder.

Because of this, I’m heavily looking into SAP (specifically Functional roles) since my research suggests it’s more about business processes and configuration rather than writing heavy code.

My Plan:
I can't quit my day job yet, so my plan is to study SAP via free courses on weekends. If the logic clicks for me, I’ll invest in certifications and make the jump. I am fully prepared to take a pay cut and start from the bottom as a trainee.
