15" / 16" or 17" rims & tyres

Today, happen that I am at Stamford tyres... After looking this and that rims & tyres....
So which rims size should I change to?

15-inch tyre <$100
16-inch tyre <$135
17-inch tyre <$180

First of all.... CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Finally you have made your mind

Secondly, for your request, i would strongly suggest you go with 17"

Please do share the big event for you to change that chicken leg

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

Fuel consumption
17-inch <11km/l
16-inch <14km/l
15-inch >15km/l

MUGEN only made 16 for our FREED right?

so follow them should be correct!!!

... but if you were to get expensive lightweight rims like RAYS, DOTZ ...

i think FC will be better ... but at a price ...

Thanks for the shop info, will try to check it out.
btw, mine Enki 16" rim weight at 5.5kg only, FC clock at 12.8km/l this morning.

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.

My 15" rims / 195 tyres, 90% alone in car, 90% with wife 65% highway, very light on pedals, have never got more than 12.5km /l.

Those getting more ....amazing !!

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