    Not necessarily. My stock wheels were 14s, I drove and raced with 16s for two years. Punctures weren't a problem. Unsprung weight was. Making a 45-profile tire's sidewalls strong enough usually means more weight, which means more of a drain on my engine and more cost to replace tires.

    Now I run 15s and was lucky enough to get a set of some very light wheels, 11 lb each.

    light weight rims is the way to go. hehehe

    am uing 205/50R16. pero almost no effect sa FC (1.3 engine) kasi light weight ang rims. 195/55R16 sana kasa mas mahirap hanapin.

    mas stable ang takbo using the 205/50R16 kasysa sa stock na 185/70R14.

    Nagpalit ako ng rim from 17" to 19" with 16kg (35lbs) difference, no effect sa FC.

    Manual calculation ko 9.73kpl (17" rim) vs 9.8kpl (19" rim). Na-offset ang gravitational weight vs angular momentum ng rim pag tumatakbo na yung car. So, hindi issue ang rim weight lalo na kung less than 50lbs lang yan.
