The 14 inch looks very small in this car. My Wira is using 14 inch but it doesn't look that small. The body size affects the wheel size perception.
Power for 1.3 litre should be adequate as I calculated the power to weight ratio and compared between this and Vios. They are almost the same, Bezza slightly higher.
All cars of this segment are narrow, that's why it's A/B segment. If wider then become C segment , then wider again become D segment. That's why I very rarely like A/B segment cars coz always narrow and tall = ugly proportion. They only look decent if in hatchback shape but never in sedan shape.Exactly. As for the length of the car, it feels okay, just that it seems quite narrow on width. The rear quarter design for the car makes the wheel look very small. The area above the wheel arch seems a bit too long.
It is sad that cars nowadays are designed to look tall from the sides. I miss those designs during late 80s and early 90s. Cars like EF, EG Civic, AE101 Corolla, CB Lancer... They are small, but they don't look weird like new cars now. 15" wheels looks quite big for these cars whereas even stock 16" looks small for the latest Honda City due to the tall looking body. From far, a 16" on Wira SE looks big but the effect is not there for City.
But then wheel arch is small also. If want to use 15" have to design with bigger arches....The 14 inch looks very small in this car. My Wira is using 14 inch but it doesn't look that small. The body size affects the wheel size perception.
Don't think the handling will be very good since it is using torsion beam.
I think you're right. The wheel arch for this Bezza seems small. Despite stock Wira is using 13" or 14"(1.6 and 1.8) and Myvi using 14", both of them can go up to 17". Bezza probably can't go until 17"...But then wheel arch is small also. If want to use 15" have to design with bigger arches....
I thought max can only reach 15" as the car is based on Axia. Since Axia's category is like Viva.
The design is to maximize interior space so by going tall they at least increase head room and boot capacity.
Well in any case, it's a small low powered econo car, so just use small rims not exceeding 15'.
Head room sometimes depends on the height of the seats as well. Like the 3rd gen Vios. My head is scraping when I'm sitting on the rear seats. But for my Wira, it doesn't happen even when I try to sit as up right as possible.
IMHO nope, larger rims doesn't mean better! Proportional to the car size and performance is the better one. Small cars/A&B segments, just use max 16 but 15 is better. C segment max 17 unless got performance like on steroids. D segments max 18 (I'm only using 17 on my Mark X coz still just a normal family sedan, not powerful sports type).
Well, if one wants to go for wider tyres, usually they need to go for larger rims, if not, it might be difficult to find tyres. I'm guessing your 17" on Mark X are on wider tyres isn't it? Instead of the usual 215mm width.
Yes, front is 225/50/17 and rear is 245/45/17, upgrade from std 215/60/16 of my non sports package Mark X version. Note that std on the sports package Mark X is already 225/45/18, so mine is 1 inch smaller diameter than that.
Always have hero one mah! Many will go over what is max recommended.....lol
Polo GTi is on 17" woh!......
