Message: <blockquote data-quote="MKMD428" data-source="post: 4466600" data-attributes="member: 16924">1. i don't know much about rim width, IMO 6.5 and 7 on 15" wheels is not a big problem. (depends on a car and your offset) maybe in terms of cornering, stability, g-stability it helps..2. the lighter the weight of the rim..the better it perform? yes...i agree..BUT lightweight forged rim are better than lightweight cast rim.. To understand the benefits of lighter wheels, it is necessary to understand the differences between “sprung weight” and “unsprung weight” in relation to your vehicle. Sprung weight is supported by the suspension, including the transmission, engine and chassis. On the other hand, unsprung weight refers to everything else, including the suspension system and the components attached to it. Surface imperfections in the roads place force on unsprung weight, which then reacts with its own movement. The less unsprung weight in a vehicle, the less it is affected by the road and other outside forces.Reducing unsprung weight increases vehicle performance and the easiest place to do that is in the wheels of the vehicle. The vehicle handling and maneuverability is increased, including faster breaking and acceleration times. Lighter wheels will also cut back on the wear and tear of the vehicle’s tires, as well as increase the vehicle’s fuel efficiency. Since forged wheels are significantly lighter than most cast wheels, all of these benefits can be achieved by replacing those cast wheels.Forged wheels also have other benefits. Forged wheels sport a higher density of grain structure than cast wheels. Cast wheels tend to be more porous than forged wheels. They are also stronger than cast wheels and can take more damage while lasting for a longer time. 3. changing from rp01 15 x 7 with type c 15 x 6.5 is really worth it bro (if both are japanese made)...because rp01s are cast wheels. ssr type c forged wheels. the width is not an issue. (assuming that you are not driving k-car..unless its a small width like 5.5jj..might not be suitable i guess)</blockquote>
