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.

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.

None coz both are fakes! How do you know they're fakes from those countries anyway and not from China or any other countries?

Hmm also fake replicas there!

The tires too thin by 1 cm, should have used 205/50/16.

For me personally if I have to choose I also prefer less fender gap with a bit thicker tires instead of thinner tires but more gap. In order to look nicer, the fender gaps should be no bigger than the thickness of the tires. Thin tires with bigger fender gaps IMHO looks more ugly but yeah people have different preferences I suppose.

Used price can get but not easy to find, depending on size also. If wider or rare sizes then more expensive.

Not all sports rim are created equal, most out there are crap shitty fake replicas! They are either as heavy as the std rims or lighter but not proven to be as strong. Just like typical std rims of normal cars, Vios std rims is also quite heavy for its small 15' size, if not mistaken about 8kg or more (I once compared a Vios TRD rims against my 17x8.5 forged rims where my rims are 6.5-7kg but the Vios rim despite its much smaller size was heavier!). Good lightweight 15' rims can be as light as 5kg or less. So if you want to change rims, change to original brands but not fakes. If want to save money or cannot afford original Japan rims then buy original Taiwan brands like Advanti or Enkei Tuning or Thailand's Lenso, those are good value for money and pretty light too.

Change to something like these are pretty nice also and matches your PCD already:

Tough luck, what rim is it? How come so easily broken??? Got photos to show?
If good quality rims usually not as easily broken but just dented hence still can repair.

Must be some fake China rims, that's why badly cracked like that already. My suggestion, try to repair it as best as possible then just sell it off and cut your loses. Buy something much better.

For new Persona, best not to go over 15' coz the car is small and low power. Try find Advanti rims, pretty lightweight and good value for money. Avoid fake ones coz might crack easier.

You can use 15x7 rims so can use wider tires like 205 or 195 to improve stability, no need to go 16'. What is the std tire size now?

Got a few in mudah.my:

Gloss black, gun metal, or bronze.

Rims cracked instead of just bent when hit potholes.

Stick with 15' and use good performance tires. Jazz is already a slow car, don't make it suffer even more!

Yes can, but pick the lightest rims you can afford, like Advanti as suggested above, or Enkei Tuning, or Lenso. So don't just look at the style but bring your weighing scale when shopping for rims! And don't buy fake rims like those replica Rays/Advan/Enkei/etc2! For tire 205, best to use rim width 6.5-7jj.

Why do you want to change your original German BMW rims for fake Taiwan rims?? Do you know that your ori BMW rims worth a lot more than those fake rims?

West Lake is one of those low budget China tires! If you look at these branding category below, it's even lower than Economy class tires, basically the lowest category similar to Linglong and Winrun! Are you still considering this because you still want to upgrade to 17' rims but with just your very low budget?

Please read this review, the top of the line West Lake finished LAST in the test and mentioned as "scored zero points in wet braking and were deemed too dangerous to use on the road."
