17" with profile 45 wheels sure looks nice on waja but the drawback will be the decreased acceleration, increased fc(if we care much) and even weaker brake system. getting a lighter set of wheels might help
but the larger diameter and tyre width(contact) will caused the engine and brake to work harder and slower speedometer reading. not to mentioned the needs for suitable and reliable absorber set.
16" seems to be the better option. even if less choice of tyre available, they still cost cheaper than the equivalent 17" while provide a quite accurate speedometer reading and better compromise on brake and engine power.
just my 2c
wah! thanks for the explanation.
im not a spped junkie but Thanks for the explaination regarding " decreased acceleration, increased fc(if we care much) and even weaker brake system"

i have three options actually.
1. Taiwan rims = possible now (in budget) RM2000
