QUOTE(wwlai87 @ Mar 12 2008, 04:38 PM) of course thinner easier to bengkok lo.. Then why all sport car use big big rim and thinner tyre? Added on March 13, 2008, 8:02 am QUOTE(Intrigue @ Mar 12 2008, 05:51 PM) you should have change to coilover I notice many ppl downgrade from 18" 17" or 16" to 15"...i'm on 15" lightweight japan rim with coilover and rear-arb and hard cornering is Downgrade from 17" to 15" because of several factors : 1. the weight of the rim and durability 2. Reduce FC so i think 15" is most suit to me juz not so good look than 16" 17" 18" rim This post has been edited by cwd8769: Mar 13 2008, 08:02 AM |

When you change to bigger rims, the sidewall thickness needs to be reduced to fit in the wheel arch.
The thinner the rubber, the less comfy it gets |

An upgrade to a tyre with a lower profile size than the original will generally improve the vehicle's steering response, handling characteristics and appearance.Added on March 13, 2008, 8:02 am I notice many ppl downgrade from 18" 17" or 16" to 15"... so i think 15" is most suit to me juz not so good look than 16" 17" 18" rim |

i reli think that people shouldnt upsize their current rim to much bigger size... if for looks, they can just change to nice rims with same dimension.. the bigger the rim is, the lesser power your car and the worst your F/C. not worth it at all

ok..i got 1 Q. when we go for smaller rims..we are looking for performance & when we go for bigger rims we are looking for appearance.
Let's talk about performance..we know that smaller means more pickup..& bigger means more 'lajak'..so the benefits for both pickup & lajak please.. |

If i go for bigger size but it weight less than my ori rims, better performance no?
Does bigger rims always means you have to sacrifice the performance part? This post has been edited by bearbear: Jun 1 2008, 12:21 AM |
