That is tyre size, not rim design as in looks....hahaha
Anyway, that is your choice. Car build for comfort comes with comfort tyre size. You want performance then only change to 17 mah!....
Depends on what is looked at. Bigger wheel with lower aspect ratio can have wider tyres that is why the handling is better....
Ha? Not 215/50? Why would a wider footprint be more comfortable? It technically should be louder. And I don't think 225 will fit on my car.
The new one sits on 17"? I gotta go look see. Perhaps new car the suspension is a bit stiffer than usual until it settles in?

Nope, it's 205/50/17. The 225/45 will have about 10.1cm of sidewall which is almost the same as the 10.25cm sidewall of 205/50 used in the new one. If 215/45, then you only have sidewall 9.7cm, so a bit thinner and stiffer tire in general. In terms fo noise, yes might be more noisy but the feel should be a bit softer than your current 215/45. I also don't really pay much attention to tire noise since I always listen to loud music in the car!
In terms of fit, should depend on your rim offset. Is the clearance now already very tight when doing full lock turns?

Yes, but to a limit. If using 215 to 225 still quite safe and also depends on car weight too. Of course going like 245 and above the tendency to aquaplane is there....

Bro. 6UE5t, basically 205/50 and 225/45 have almost same sidewall height but 225 is 20mm wider and more road surface contact will feed bumps to the car especially bumpy road. 45 series tyres also have harder sidewall construction then 50 series and tyre model again comes into play, so got many many aspect to this....
...
If you have 245 in front different story brother......
Usually the lower the aspect ratio the harder the sidewall becomes. You are on the Mark X, right? Totally different from Izso STD.....
but I love my 215/45R17, many many sets already, actually main reason, this size very common, many choices and best is the cheapest size. Going 225 price increase a lot......
That is why he looking for 215/50......
215/50 is nice and quite comfy, I'm using that size now for my front.
I'll never use 215/45 coz just too thin even though got tons of choices. 225/45 is about as thin as I'm willing to go for. (10cm sidewall is my limit).
Hey this thread is about rims, now talking about tires again! Should come back to the tire thread.
.......hhahahhahaha
I like my stock rims

Yup, totally love the rims and totally matches the car. Looks better than having it on myvi se haha!
Ya, stock rims sold off to a friend who is also driving kelisa but using ugly black steel rims.
Then bought mine after friend confirmed.
Last time not many. Now getting more common seeing kelisa with the same Myvi SE rims that I have haha!
I think is because the tyre profile is lower in your Kelisa plus your car looks smaller which somehow made the rims look larger. The same rims can give a different feel in different cars. Like sometimes I saw some Wira with large rims and it looked good to me. When I have a look at it, it is only 17 inches. But if you put the same 17 inches on something like Skyline GT-R or Supra, I'm sure the rims will look small and weird for the car.
Eh, your stock rims are 13 inch?
Kancil with Myvi rims also looks okay. BTW, show you guys something. First time I have seen such size.
