gouki masuk track?

let say i change stock 15" to 17" light weight rim, will this affect my car performance + fuel consumption?

a little bit....

but car handling wise will greatly improve.... given that u use good tyres....

it is only a little bit right? not significant right?

little bit mayb 20% ??

nah,if by changing tyres and rims can improve 20% for fuel then every car manufacturer will change it already and claim that their car can save 20 percent more fuel.

maybe improve by just 2-5 percent.

putting larger rims and tires how can improve fuel economy? LOL..

tires will usually be wider like from 185/195 to 215/225/235 etc, and +2 +3 inch (like 17" and 18") rims/tires combo will always be heavier than those stock 14-15in rims..

roughly 1+km/litre more thirsty (from my own three cars usage with 18" rims) say if usually 11.5km/l consumption, it'll go down to 10.5km/l when changing bigger rims..

I saw 17" Lenso sc-01 today.
Love it very much

Unfortunately, if my wira 1.5 install it, sure like turtle.

the spoke of 17" look more long and more nice compare to 15" rim

what's the best rim i mean nice looking rims suitable for kenari....

was wondering what is the different weight between original and imitations in say 16"? and how to spot the differences other than the weight? just to avoid buying an imitation when the sellers claim its original.

any good shop to paint rims ?

let say i change to 16" rim and use the current spare tyre which is 15", is that ok if in case of emergency, i use 1 15" and the others are 16"?

if its only emergency for a while i dun think there will be any problem as long u drive slow.

Overall diameter bigger mah
If the rims are light weight, and has the same weight as 15" rims, the difference is negligible

yea, the bigger the rim the heavier it is. anyway, how heavy should a 17" to be considered as ok? possible 4kg or perhaps 6kg?

4kgs? Those are super expensive
Forged wheels

less than 9kg will do if normal 17"

Mst go weigh my 15" ENKEI rims, feel heavy man...LOL

Thanks for usefull information
If 15" and 17" same weight then the performances will be the same?

i see... thx for the info too. wanted to buy a set but still got much to learn. hopefully wont be a sucker for pretty heavy rims. maybe considering 16", more balance. cos bigger rims kinda give uncomfortable bumpy ride.

and yes cwd8769, if the weights are same, then wont hav much diff other than the 'little' drag if not mistaken.
