The minute i made my decision to replace it to a 17" rims, I know i wont be driving fast with my car d. With 16.7 kg/m torque i was not worry about the extra weight on the wheels.
The Car when its on the previous 15" wheels, with 195/50/R15 Matrix tyre (cheapo yokohama). My new ride with 17" taiwan rims. Fitted with Falzen ZE522 tyres 205/40/R17".

Preparation for new rims
2 months ago, I cracked 1 of my sport rims. Many frens has advice me to change it as it is dangerous to drive a fixed crack rim as it wont last.
Currently, my putra is riding on 15"x6.5" wheels with 195/50/R15 tyres for all four wheels. To make it sportier and conner faster, I send its absober and spring to be customized 18 months ago and it ran fine all the while. But today, I have to make some changes to that setting to allow me to fit in large wheels tomorrow. The original spring is fitted back in so that the ride is set back to its original heights which is around 2" higher than the current setting.
This was the look before change back to the original spring.
My plan was to fit it 17"x7" with 205/45/R17 tyres in front and 17"x8" with 215/45/R17 tyres behind! HeHeHe.... If and only if my budget allow :)
