7.5kg for 15 inch is quite heavy, consider the 17 inch light rims will weight at 7-8kg. I found the lightest 15 inch is around 4-6kg. U can try that but be vary of potholes as it will easily damage ur rim.

that too heavy for 15" wheels, mine just 3.9kg per wheels ... tips for owner who look for wheel bring along a scale to measure the rims weight then u getting ..

weight too much will reduce FC and pickup performance ....

if for wheels from taiwan & thailand do have light weight i think the lightest is 4.9kg per wheel, if budget got extra go for Japanese wheel or wheels maker use Forged process to make wheels or somethings like that... weight is very light and strong too ...

mind I asking what brand is your rim and how much it costs you?
any recommendation on shops to find good / light and not too expensive rims?

From this website, seems that mostly only those forged wheels are less than 5kg for 15". But those stated are all quite expensive brands. Don't want to be spending too much...

mine is from Racing Hart CP035, forged wheels....hehe .... 3k plus....

If dont want to spending too much u can try Enkei RPF1 15' if not mistaken is it 4.4k per wheel. price is just over abit 2k...this wheel is make of cast process

another brand is from taiwan Advanti 4.9kg base on the their spec....

best advise can give is bring a scale to measure when u shop for a wheels... try not to get weight more then or OEM wheels..

Guys i got a question...

When i choose sports rim, what should i take note of?

I must choose the same PCD with my current tyre unless i change tyres too rite?

How about the material?

Lighter weight will consume less petrol?
*
there are few things need to consider like PCD, min ~ max offset u chassis and suspension can take, rim size and tire profile and size local market have....

material normally is alloy, there are 2 type of process to make a sport rims ...cast and forged
cast - cheap and very heavy
forged - expensive and very light weight

yes light weight wheels reduce FC or able to archive good FC , pickup, good cornering respond
