changing to low profile tires will sacrifice the comfort..
for which size? 15"? 16"? 17"?

how can we know how much weight u can reduce if u not giving us your current wheels specs & size!

15'' lor. current using proton persona ori alloy 15'' rims. 195/60/R15 is the tyre size which i suppose not affecting.
so it will be changing from 15'' to 15''.

y u all so lazy use search button..
you have to understand what contribute to the weight your talking about.. as not only the rim.. there is also tyre weight.. also amount of air in the tyre is weight.. also higher profile tyre will also contribute alot of weight as the thicker the tyre+mass of rubber.. so to say sometimes even changing rim would not give what u aiming for.. i don't know the stock pesona rim weight but some aftermarket rim on the same size is lighter.. but u have to find the right 1.. or else ur not gonna lose any weight at all.. also may i know why izzit that ur aiming for as if to lighten ur car sumore?

what car are u using? if ur talking about bouncy.. ur on any lowered springs or coilover? if no then don't have to worry on the bounciness.. the thing u have to worry is ur handling.. as changing to bigger size rim will make ur car higher and when thats happened ur handling gonna go off..
55 or 50 series profile are heavy.. also 45 is the ideal series as its not to thin and most malaysian car have issue of tyre hit the fender with 17" 50/55 series..

the best reason to change rims is of coz bcoz stock rims is a bit damaged. can be repaired but i rather change sport rims. Another is for looks of course. lightweight is considered as a bonus for pickup and fc although it is very marginal which might have no real change at all.

go change to those advanti light weight series.. weights 5+ kg..

i dunno how heavy is persona stock rims, for sure hell the advanti is lighter than ur persona stock rims..

got budget go search for used forged rims.. lighter than casting wheels

If I am not mistaken, ori stock rims is 9+ kg? so if the light weight series i can reduce weight by 16kg.
