Should I replace 14"s with fanblade 15"s ?

EDIT : Ive answered my own question. The 15s seem quite heavy
Don't think I'll put them on. Will see If i van get some lighter 15's maybe.


I've had my 14" Honda (Enkei's) on my car for a few years
& they improved the acceleration of the car / MPG a lot compared to the steel rims that were on originally


How it looks now



I know theyre an improvement for MPG but they look so puny.
I'd like it to look a little more beefy.


Test fit


WEIGHTs with tyres on. (Not very accurate as the tyres on the 15s have a bit of water in them)


Steelies: 14.6 kg



14"s : 14.0 kg


15"s :

Thread revival ! Ended up putting the 15"s on
Acceleration from standstill is reduced... But the car feels much more
Stable at high speed & around corners.

I think the heavier wheels actually help
To stop me racing off the lights etc lol
