you got any links? Interesting how a heavy rim saps powerI have seen a few test comparisons before by some international media. Coz they measure power on wheels, got slight increase when changing to lighter wheels.

I have to search again, a long time back already.you got any links? Interesting how a heavy rim saps power
Yes, Kean Lee HIn is YHI dealer, Yokohama tyres and YHI deal in a few brands of rims.thanks all.
I'm looking at advanti rims because most aftermarket lightweight rims do not have pcd 4 x 114.3 which renders limited choices.
have you all heard from Kean Lee Hin store at jalan ipoh, which is one of the authorized supplier for Advanti rims?
Will the gap between the fender and the tyre look weird with aftermarket lightweight rims?
nowadays the standard offset for 15" is always +35. hahaha. go all shops, +35. if want specific offset then need to order.Yes, Kean Lee HIn is YHI dealer, Yokohama tyres and YHI deal in a few brands of rims.
Get the correct offset and tyre size, then will look good. Want to rims to look bigger need to get the design with the spokes reaching the edge of the rims....
YHI is the same as YHI Advanti with its plant ni Bukit Rambai?Yes, Kean Lee HIn is YHI dealer, Yokohama tyres and YHI deal in a few brands of rims.

My son's Swift also now use 15x7 et35 coz it's the best offset to just lineup with the fenders.nowadays the standard offset for 15" is always +35. hahaha. go all shops, +35. if want specific offset then need to order.
wah those tires makan outside..My son's Swift also now use 15x7 et35 coz it's the best offset to just lineup with the fenders. View attachment 578456

Yup despite having lowered with around -1°-1.5° camber, because often cornering a bit hard. All my cars are like this.wah those tires makan outside..
it sounds like a projectMaybe if you have the time, mod to 5 x 114.3 and suddenly your rim choices exponentially increase.
maybe over inflated a lil bit?Yup despite having lowered with around -1°-1.5° camber, because often cornering a bit hard. All my cars are like this.

Nope, if over inflated it actually should wear off the middle more. All my cars are like this despite different tires, pressures, weight.maybe over inflated a lil bit?
I dunno man.Here are some newer ones:
The difference in diameter is just the wheels but not the overall diameter, at least not significantly. But the weight difference are significant there. This is talking about transferring power to the ground. If there's no additional power going to the ground to move the car quicker then what does?? Power at the engine is the same but there's not as much loss used to rotate the mass of the wheels hence enabling the power more to move the car.I dunno man.
the 2nd and 3rd video examples show a difference in diameter. Hypothetically - If traction wasn't a factor - switching from a 15" to 12" tyre and wheel package would technically increase acceleration for a car. However if the same car switched from 15" to a lighter 15" with the same HP (power), then acceleration should improve which is what I've been saying - response. It doesn't increase HP.
Engineering explained talked about rotational mass - that one I can agree. I'm trying to apply the concept in my head and it's giving my headaches. His bicycle wheel example compares one low profile vs one high profile wheel and according to his theory the higher profile wheel will be quicker to roll down the hill even though both are the same diameter. But in a real car situation - a smaller wheel bigger profile tyre wouldn't deliver the same kind of blistering performance feel due to tyre flex and probably other things I don't understand.
Right now I'm talking about improving performance by means of response, ie-acceleration resulting from changing 15" heavy to 15" lightweight rims.
Can an asian dude with good maths please come in explain to us if this improves HP as well? Because I don't think it does. I agree it improves acceleration because the rotational mass is less but does higher acceleration = higher HP? Or just less resistance to the torque needed to turn that mass?
Because most want their tyres come out.....lolnowadays the standard offset for 15" is always +35. hahaha. go all shops, +35. if want specific offset then need to order.
