Almera is not a powerful car

Change to bigger rim will make it sluggish

Please don't hog the traffic

Old owner do this.

In terms of power should be the same, but 15 inch should be better, cuz 17 inch usually bit heavy due to the size and weight, correct mr if im wrong 🎊😻☔

Then probably the 15 inch tyre almera have some engine or gearbox issues.


But also the 15 inch one is 2015


The 17 inch one is 2018


But really one is powerful ,one is no powerful

I do suspect the 15 inch car got an issues, that's why the 17 inch performed better

Stock 15in rim usually more heavier than 17in aftermarket ones especially the expensive ones.

Many years ago was shocked when i at tyre shop testing lifted a 17in rim using only 1 finger only while waiting for tyre change.

Those rim price per set iinm was 5k++ that that time.

Usually expensive branded 17 inch rims will be light weight but i dont have any idea bout the copy ori 17 inch rims, a friend of mine installed the copy ori rims, he said feels bit heavy then the stock once, may be depending on which copy ori rims, some might heavier and some might lighter

Sport rim lightweight is one thing, need to consider new tire width (rolling resistance) & weight (tire itself also got weight tho) also.
When you go low profile, bigger sport rim you also need increase tire width size to match the sport rim.
From 15" original size tire width 185, you might need to upgrade to at least 205, 215 width for 17"
Think example skinny tire width (bicycle) vs fat tire width (lorry) which need more energy to push even with the same round diameter? Even both similar weight, but on the road the more surface contact, more friction, more energy/fuel to go. Unless it is very lightweight then it might contra.
