Default Re: Light weight sport rim, will make a different in daily use?

Yes you are right,FVel.

But larger daimeter rims is like altering your gearbox ratio. Suppose your gb ratio is build to power 13"-14", but up put a 17". What will happen to the powerband and torque from your engine to your wheels ? It put alot extra stress to the engine, thus every wear n tear parts will KO much faster.

There's always a limitation to the size of the rims that your engine n braking system could take, unless u upgrade both aspect, then you go for bigger rims.

Eg:
Stock Wira 1.6 is 14" rims. After upgraded to GSR turbo, after changing bigger rotors n calipers, u need more grip to hold n the road, then oni u go for 16".

What will happen if u drive a myvi with 17" beside a Turbo-ed Car with 16" ?
I promise u the turbo driver is laughing the shit out of his life !
