That's right !!!

You have to spend for better wheels if you don't want to increse weight.
15 usually weight 15lbs
17 often weight 23 lbs...

that's a big difference....

I got 17 that weight 15 or 16 lbs, to keep the same performance, There are a few wheels that are lightweight, so you won't loose anything. On the other hand, take those light weight wheels in 15, and you get 10 lbs wheels, then you gain performance !!!

I think it's about 1 lbs extra if you get 1 inch wider wheel, in 17...that why I have 16lbs whell instead of 15....17x8 vs 17x7...
