Go for Advanti N993. It is using M.A.T. tech and very light rim 7.4kg but quality and strength enough than other rims. Earlier I tried to source for this one also but only available in KL. End up I go for Lenso brand.

difficult to justify...hehehehe...where i drive...hmmmmm...on weekdays.....my route will be MEX Highway + Bdr Tun Rzk, Cheras....on weekends....always going back to hometown...either going to sabak bernam or temerloh.....
my ride is WXT and it is already reaching 4XXX KM.....don't know high or not....yeah...i prefer lightweight wheels to improve pickup and braking.....as for handling....so far i've done Comfort Package (Autofoam)....the handling has improved.....all the 3 wheels dat i mentioned above is around +/- RM2200.00 plus installation + balancing + alignment....got quote from Quick-Save Auto and Nestum (Lowyat Seller).....
*
I'm using the Advanti Vigoroso series (7.4kg)... Bought from Nestum... Can really feel slight improvement on FC... But since I'm a heavy footer, won't contribute much in the beginning... But FC slowly improve when I practice more when pushing the acceleration paddle...

Bro future_owner... Duduk BTR kah?? Let do TT for Cheras chapter laa....

This front grill is modified from the stock front grill.

Mine is the used 4 speed grill, so not really fit nicely onto my 6 speed front... Don't know why... But his fit nicely... below is mine using the RR grill...

Do u get more mileage with new rims?
Some ppl said lighter rim improve FC, how true is it?

Not that significant if you are a heavy footer... But city ride will be better... This is base on my experience... Don't know about others.. I'm using a 7.4kg rim for my ride...

Blunderboy, What rim you are using? Lenso ES6? You sure it is 7.4kg? you weight it?

I'm using Advanti Vigoroso... Using the super old method when weighting the RIM... And when compared side by side with the stock RIM "mcm langit ngan bumi"...

Definately braking is smoother than before..

To explain about momentum. Let me explain in this way .... You drive from one start point ..For example: Within 10 seconds you accelerate your car to 80km/h and release the accel pedal and check if the car can go how far... without hit the brake pedal

1. With heavy rim, your car sure will roll further because of momentum.

2. Lighter rim... sure will not go further because no weight to push it keep running.
The super heavy weight big truck or lorry are very dangerous when they drive very fast. Because no way for them to do efficient braking. The momentum will keep pushing the truck move further.

You might get better answers here bro: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1815579  smile.gif
People say new cars are like that. But last time mine the highest was 10L/100KM.

What kind of traffic are you driving through most of the time? City? Highway?
It'd really help if you can give further details on your driving conditions.

Forte is not a really full city car. If 100% city driving with a lot of traffic lights, traffic jams, then your consumption might be as high.
Although those are Area Beyond Control.

What you can control is your driving style.
Here are some tips taken from Mitsubishi Mirage campaign.

EP1: Not related much to saving fuel.

Good tips...

Is it true that city drive will consume more fuel and your FC will be high... especially when more than 80% city drive + you're heavy footer... This is base on my experience... Don't know about other...
