Do note however that bigger rims while giving better road holding, will have higher road noise and more fuel consumption.

... but if you were to get expensive lightweight rims like RAYS, DOTZ ...
i think FC will be better ... but at a price ...

Hi dai-kor,
If want to get big rims, make sure get those light weight rims.
Yeah i know appearace wise those SSR or those light weight type don't look enticing, but do take my word for it. You will love them in the end.
Colours play a big part.
If my "prince" is white like yours, i would get them white too.
White ride + white robe like Gandalf....just the way how i like it.

What type of rims are you using? I think your rims are too heavy, if not then will be your engine oil.
