Is because when you go for bigger rims, say 14" to 15", you need to lower the aspect ratio (tyre sidewall) so that the overall diameter stays as close to your original size.
In 14" I am sure you are either using 175/65R14 or 185/60R14, so when going to 15" you need 195/50R15 or 195/55R15.
Why in 15" it handles better?
1. Tyres are wider, from 175 or 185 to 195mm.
2. Sidewall lower, less flex, means less body roll.
3. you have choice of performance tyres, so traction better.
nice... understood.. now it makes sense

800-900 bucks not consider cheap to 2nd rim? but if its original like this one, should be worth right?

lets say the rim is 1k, and 4 tyres of PS3 should cost me another 1k, so total around RM2k, maybe?

another thing, lets say in the future i want to upgrade the brake, then this 15" should have no problem right? my current 14" surely cannot be used with upgraded brake

If not spending too much, just look out for Advanti or Enkei 2nd hand rims. New is around RM1k, therefore used probably around RM500 only.
Why upgrade the brakes if you did not mod the engine. A better set of brake pads should be enough....

The plan is there to upgrade the engine, but not sure on d direction yet. Keep as NA or goes turbo. So if wana invest on rims, just wana make sure can be used with upgraded brake system

Still risky, since you not sure what BBK also. If BBK too big 15" also cannot fit in, as could be rim size or rims offset even

i start with chicken brand rp01 rims + ps3. Once confirm rims that suitable for the car, get ori lightweight one.
used ori can go 2-3 thousands bucks or more for 15inch. :eek: Really lightweight !!! u want to keep it look like rolex or rolix is up to u.

Try and review for us......
Soon. About time to change tyre already anyway. My current tyres are dated back in 2014.

PCD different from your Satria. So, you need an adapter spacer to put these Evo 3 wheels. When buying used wheels, you need to make sure the wheels are still in good condition, at least it is not dent or deformed. Aesthetic things like scratches and paint fade can be dealt with later on without much problem.
