from my experience,
helps in acceleration, fuel saving a bit, no need press so much on accelerator.
if ur rim too pretty then u find girls saying "wah!! the rim so big and pretty!!" to u.
As long as it is original and have a nice look, l leave the rest...
Hahaha...

But, i do feel different using 17" rim on my ride. Even it is original Japan made, still feel berat on acceleration.
Cornering, dont know. I think not much different even if you're using light weight rims.
When u hit corner more than 60kmh, 1kg on ur wheel equals to 15kg of momentum sideways. Hence, lighter rims compared to stock steel rims, u will finds that lighter rims are easily controlled n maneuver.
However, heavier rims felt more stable on a Japanese car on a straight road, u got more weight to the ground.
I dont know what JINEIL2EN drives or what rims he is using, but I am sure he is wise enough to post positive comments in forums and do some research, dont you, JINEIL2EN ?

A very simple test, bring ur 17" climb genting hill, see how well the rimsize can help u.
A correct rim size, maximize your grip, acceleration and cornering. Mostly oversized rims are for looks, in a long term they kill your suspension bushing by adding too much weight and inccorect offset, brushing ur inner fender everytime u go over uneven roads n humps, and ur FC will be increased 15% but ur power does not increase.
The conclusion is yours, I speaks based on experience on myself as well shared by others who been through these ordeals.
JINEIL2EN, is there anything u want to know? Dont just post imoticons, u r spamming.
U wan blow water, go to Non Motoring Sections sections

For your info I am using 15" Lenso Axis Maglite on my 1.5 Iswara. Engine is 90bhp/130nm torque with some light modification on engine. 0-100kmh in 10.5 seconds.
May you share your car/engine/rim size info with everyone here ? We can analyse n discuss your setting. Most welcomed to do so :)
Light weight sport rim, will make a different in daily use?
