Planne to change my myvi rim, from ori 14"inch to more bigger. Example like 15,16"inch is possible?
What the effective after changing those bigger size rim, will that cause balacing nightmare or high fuel consumption or even more hidden problem?

Anyone got this kind of experience?pls share or guide me how to choose the right rim.

195/55 tyres on a 15-inch rim would be the most ideal combo.

Say no to taiwan replica rim. TE37/RPF1 replica etc..

Most lack build quality and heavier compared to the likes of Advanti, Enkei or Sparco. There you'll find balancing nightmare, more prone to cracks etc..

Advanti is made in Taiwan . That's where their factory is located . Enkei , u get it from Japan , Thailand , China and even Malaysia . Even the ever popular mid range rim for conti Vossen rims from US are now made in Taiwan since a while ago to cut production cost and selling price . However , these rims r TUV-certified as well . Put it this way , avoid replica rims regardless of where they r made . Made in taiwan doesn't mean it's bad .

Small car use small rims. So for Myvi, the best is use 15', bigger than that will make your tires too thin and a bit uncomfortable, also less performance if you choose normal heavier rims.

Rims sold at shops are normally trade in from customers to change another . Most of the time , yes can be trusted yet there's no harm being more careful . Most common problem of rims are r dented lip which directly cause the tires to deflate over time . It can be repaired of course but how good is the job , nobody knows unless it's tested which in most cases , tire shops dont bother to test but resell it . So be extra careful inspecting the lips of the rims especially if it has been repainted . Best if someone can recommend a trustworthy shop or a shop u r familiar with .
