Ideal wheel set up (tyre & rim combo)?

Oh ok, so even 16" are still a bit rough?
I've 17" chromes on my other car and it rides like shit and is like a snail off the mark.

what brand of rims could be lighter than my stock rims (15x6)?

i've looked at O.Z.racing "RECORD" (5 spoke)........apart from that I'm not a fan of much others..........any suggestions?

i got 205/40/17 and when i watched them change my 205/50 re711, i thought "what the f*%^?!?!?!?" according to bridgestone, the g3 205 was abt 17mm thinner than the re711. now i got tyres that look real whimpy (thin). i dun push my car hard ard corners so can't really compare whether the grip levels are comparable or not.

just a question? wat size is ur 711s? 15s or 17s? im sure there is a difference in the tyre wall between 15" and 17" tyres. Also surely between a 40 series and a 50 series tyre there is a difference

Volk TE37 !!
15x6.5 is 4kg
15x6 is around 3.8kg
16x7 is about 5kg each

well this may be a stupid question but when you go from different sizes, say 205/50/15 tire to a 195/55/15... is there any weight differential in the tires? everyone is going on about the weight of rims.. are the weight of tires an issue? or am i just an idiot? hehe

....the compressed air inside the tyres limits weights more than the rubber....
