yeah, besides crawling over, u must also steer sideways at the same time. Saw it in one of those Japanese racing shows wif super low, Sup up cars. Tat is for humps lah. For slope, better throw away the bodykit lah! Haha! Jus joking. Cool!

cos i have a friend who change 14" to 16" and immediate lost 100km per full tank. (not kia car). So... worry mah must see what type of rims he change. generally it's true bigger rims are heavier so milage will decrease. Rims are made of metal (steel or alloy) and will be heavier than rubber for sure. So bigger rims generally weigh more than smaller rims. the 100km loss most likely come from the extreme case of having stock steel hub rims which are light and narrow changing to a set of cheap 16" which is a lot heavier than the 14" and definitely wider providing more rolling resistance. It's a deadly combination. 16" that are light and strong are expensive. Plus the thought of having bigger rims and wanting to 'test' out the grip, the right foot automatically becomes heavier to the pedal.

Bigger rims and testing of grip I believe is for cornerings. More stability provided during 90-100km cornerings. Good to have bigger rims if can afford one. If not, 2nd hand oso can. Wee!

I think smallest is probably 15". You don't want to carry a 13" 'spare' around to find out you can't use it when you need it.

V2 disc looks slightly bigger than V1.
