Hi all.
I'm just wondering, other than better looks, is there much benefit to larger wheels?
I understand bigger wheels are more fragile in poor roads and that a low profile tire should bend less in the curves, but does upsizing the rims decrease the total weight?
Reason I ask is I'm running 17 and I'd like different, aftermarket rims, but I'm not sure if going to 18 will bring an improvement. I couls stay in 17 size.
Any thoughts?
