In your opinion, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages?

Benefits: stability, grip, looks

Disadvantages: acceleration, braking, comfort, fuel consumption

Rims are kind of the 'last' mod that I will do to my car. Already did:

Full braking system (steel-braided hose, slotted rotors, performance pads)
Stage 1 UR bars
Full exhaust system mod (extractor, piping, bullet, muffler, tip)
Low-resistance cables
Voltage stabilizer
Stiff rings (front and back)

i think for 15'' the disadvantages is very minimal unless you go for 16'' and above. on the other hand, you can get wider selection of tyre with 15'' rim such as UHP tyre at a very reasonable price. tyre selection also important since it can influence the handling,braking, and comfort level.

after change rim you also can consider changing the suspension

Planning to put Michelin XM2 on the 15" rims if I'm getting them. Either that or PS3, since the difference is only RM10 per donut.

Currently already using XM2 on my stock 14" rims.

Suspension is definitely in my list but I'll wait until my OEM shocks start to die first.

wont feel apparent.since the rim is so light.below 5kg for a rim.
its lighter than the original 14 inch rim.better stability/handling etc

Even with 195/55/R15 tyres, it won't feel apparent?

The extra contact surface and rolling resistance is kinda offset by the lightweight rims right?

Kinda but that's the whole point of it, enabling you to use bigger and higher grip tires for better handling and yet not compromising much on performance as you compensate using lighter rims.

agreed with what bro 6ue5T said.

Thanks bro. Now I'm really tempted to change my rims already.

Final decision is just choosing between XM2 or PS3 only. Difference is only RM10 per donut. XM2 is really quiet and lasts super long while providing adequate grip for my type of driving. Tried PS3 in my friend's swift and found it to be really noisy, and probably wears out faster too since it's a performance tyre.

If I were you, no brainer already I'll choose PS3 coz the price difference between the 2 is very minimal yet the PS3 is a much higher performance category and I don't feel it's noisy at all. To me XM2 is just not worth it unless it's like rm50 cheaper per tire.

the two are not really comparable.. one is green tyre and another is performance tyre... just my opinion...

Mind sharing what is your ride?
Is the mod listed in the order of importance?

just go for PS3 since the difference is just rm10. 1 is high end tyre 1 is eco tyre. I would pick PS3 with no doubt.

Just a 2012 Myvi 1.5 SE.

Nah, just listed the mods down as I could remember them.

Yup, already went for it. Advanti Storm S1 + Michelin PS3 195/55/R15

Loving them so far despite the sacrifice in comfort.

advanti not a bad choice ma. Low weight rims. haha. how's the grip and road noise?

How much is the cost for the stiff ring installation and items?

Yeah actually pretty good. Looks awesome too. I haven't tried the grip properly yet, but I tried it in rainy conditions and it's really really good compared to stock 14" 175 tyres. The steering is heavier now and the road noise is pretty loud compared to my previous XM2. Need to get used to that also.

It was about RM580 nett for me, including installation and GST.

Front set is about RM300, rear set about RM200, then installation around RM50.

Totally worth it IMO. I had a lot of doubts but decided to YOLO and try it anyways.

Currently Vios NCP 42, realize one of the rim bengkok abit, really abit only during balancing process. But after done the alignment, the handling still good at 130km/hr. So until now I don't bother...

Till that during one traffic jam, got one fella duno is sleeping or playing phone, bang to rear, my rear bumper on the right hand side drop around 2 cm, with no external damage, but internal part (below brake light) break already, and the bracket also break already. And eventually the bumper also paint come out abit. Lastly able to fix it by forcely pull up by hand not machine. But left a 1cm gap just below the right break light.

I planning to change the rear bumper at SC because have to go SC to replace the airbag.

Since going to SC, I just want to ask regarding the rim.... Is anyone here change their rim at SC before. I mean, I wish to buy rim at SC and ask them to fix for me too. If yes, do I need to know what to worry? Because I am afraid that the nut placing isn't same? Like NCP 150 have diff length between to nuts compared to NCM 42? But I am wondering is it ok to remove tyre from old rim and into the new rim? Will it affect the quality of the tyre?

Interested in the current new vios GX rim... BTW, there is term, for the nuts placing...
Thanks.

** edit: the term is PCD
