I am worried about the increase in unspring weight due to the bigger alloys. Can anyone suggest a good brand which makes light but strong rims? I came across some brands like Lenso, Hijoin, etc but they are all taiwan/chinese imports. They are quite affordable but what about the quality? I don't want to bet on some cheap chinese stuff to save my life when I am going at 150kmph on the highway.

Tire Calculator

this is the tyre upsize calculator this should give you the details of the appropriate other sizes if you want to check them!
do you think you will do well with that kind of harsh ride quality? rethink what you are opting for, for a moment at least.

well if you want good alloys then i suggest, you come to hyderabad, there are many shops here which can source those for you! even your choice of the brand you want!. but be prepared to face very harsh ride quality!

i suggest you get the 17" alloys with 225/50-R17 instead but at the end its entirely your choice!

there is a shop named ashoka wheels in ranigunj minister road hyderabad he is a very versatile stocker of many brands! so i think you should be able to find it here, he can source wht ever your size brand needs are!
