QUOTE(6UE5T @ Sep 13 2017, 10:52 AM) Yes difference in acceleration is surely more noticeable than FC. Difference in rims weight can be much more than difference in tire weight coz usually tires weigh about similar despite a bit different sizes (unless the difference in size is very large too).So paying attention to the rim's weight is more important. You can even go bigger size yet loose weight if you switch to lightweight rims! So it's like having your cake and eat it too, coz you get better look, better handling due to bigger and thinner tires, yet you may also gain in acceleration and maintain FC. Typical normal 15' OEM rims weigh about 6-7+kg. For City I don't recommend going for 17' coz your car is already a low powered econo car. That's why even just going to 16' already feel noticeable drop. You can still go 16' but find lightweight rims which will weigh about 5-6kg so you won't suffer in acceleration. Hmm, do u know normal 16/ 17 inch rim around how heavy? For city the diameter of wheel arch is quite big, if 17 it fit perfectly.. But I not sure normal 17 and lightweight type diff how much since those tyre shop impossible to they weight it for you haha..I saw quite many 15" price range below 1k, for light weights it go up to 1.2k(4kg+)..i wonder it worth or not, if not noticeable I just spend lesser.. |

If lightweight, 16' can be just 5-6kg while 17 6-7kg, some can be even lighter. For example my 17x8.5j forged rims weigh under 7kg. If you want to buy lightweight rims but price still cheap, go for Advanti Storm series, made in Taiwan by Enkei. |

While 15" around 1.2k 16 around 1.5k Those other cheap rims around 1k are surely just normal heavy rims. I'd rather try to find used Advanti Storm which are still in good condition rather than those new normal heavy rims. Heavy rims is just a big no IMHO. |

If the original is 17" and change to 19", would it lowered the car ?
What i mean is would it hit the bump if change to big size by 2" ?

QUOTE(leehernandez @ Oct 10 2017, 10:38 AM) lesser possibility for yr car to hit the bump because the height of yr car from the road has increase a bit Nope, not necessarily. It depends on what tire size you're using. If you use the closest conversion size then it should barely have any difference in total diameter hence the ride height would also be about the same and therefore the chances of hitting road bumps is also still about the same. |

Nothing fancy, but it feels a lot more stable compare to the stock rims and tires. Attached thumbnail(s)
