Hello all,
I'm new in here. Been trying to find some reviews from anyone who had downsized their 17" to 16".
I wished to find out if the FC affected and does that helps in improving FC. I somehow don't like the 17" due to the bumpy ride so I want to change to 16".
Can anyone advice me? Thanks peeps!

Hi, from what i know that downsizing their rims will improve FC. But i upgraded my rims from 15" to 16". Does not seem like any difference in the FC.

You downsize rims from 17 to 16 should be around 1km/l more efficient. but of course also depends on your driving style. and to downsize rims your pick up should be more responsive.

From what I know.. downsize ur rims can increase fuel effiency.. but when travel at high speed, ur fuel effiency will drop. bigger rims can be more sturdy and high speed save petrol. but low speed kills..

very heavy. I just changed my spare tyre last Saturday night at Orchard Central Carpark. My friend told me that there are much more lighter rims that stock..

Anyone using 16" in place of 15" for EX? How much it affects fuel consumption?
