If ppl changing to bigger rim and it is MALAYSIA made or TAIWAN made.. then the reason should be for COSMETICS PURPOSE and PERFORMANCE when CORNERING, also TIGHT BUDGET.

But, if ppl changing to bigger rim and it is JAPAN made which is light compare to TAIWAN.. then the reason is for a PERFORMANCE, BETTER CORNERING, GOOD LOOKING and off course they have BIG BIG MONEY.
