    Hi peeps, I'm planning to replace the 15" stock rims on my Mazda 2 to something like 16" or 17". I don't want to sacrifice the fuel consumption so I'm thinking of getting lightweight wheels. I assume I can retain my current FC if I will get lightweight bigger wheels. Ang iniisip ko lang, di kaya madaling mabengkong ang ganitong wheels kasi magaan?

    Cheap lightweight alloy wheels are prone to damage/deforming or even cracking when you hit something on the road like a rock or a pothole.
