Does increase in Rim size really reduce FC DRASTICALLY?

Actually, I'm already driving with the 22" for half a year.

The ride handling definitely feels better. Originally was getting close to 8km/l, now around 7.3km/l.

 

 

My concern is, I have been told before and now that my FC will surely suffer whenever they see my rims. The annoying part is, when I ask them how do they know or why they think so, they will say they have hear from here and there. None of them have actual exp of driving one.

 

I'm not concerned about the FC so much, actually this is my best FC with regards to all previous rides. Some of them are only 5+km/l.

 

My thinking has always been, if you are driving, you definitely need fuel. No matter how the petrol stations increase their price or how we all kbkb, at the end of the day we still need to spend our $$$ on them.

 

Hi Woes do you feel any acceleration draggy after upsizing compared to before? Means need more power to pick up speed?

Hi Matoonia, I also want to change my 17" to 18". Do you feel any acceleration draggy on 18"? I heard the bigger rims will hamper the accelerations.

Can't rem much, but I know everything suffer. Tyre more expensive, FC is worse, noise, maybe acceleration but I don't really notice.

 

Really the only thing u look at when up sizing is just the looks haha. Everything else will be worse off

Is ok to upsize.

Just make sure you get a good light weight rims.

A used good rims is much better than a new heavy rims.

 

FC may even improve.
