Instead I was looking into jacking it up, but turns out ground clearance never became an issue even with heavy cargo on snow roads.
When I did my wheels swap from winter tires on steelies to my summer on mags last week, I weighted each and my 15" summer tired with mags are 15kg while the winter 14" with steel rims are 13kg. There's about a 1.5" diameter difference between both, the 15" ones being taller. I reckon the mags are much heavier than the steel rims, as the 14" winter tires do have more meat than the 15" summer ones. Uneducated as I was, I always thought alloy mags would be lighter than steel rims, but apparently it's not always true. Make sure to weight you mags first if you think you'll save weight by ditching the steelies. Did you (Vitz) weighted your new mags and compared them to the stock ones ? |

'96 Miata 14" mags for my winter tires. About 12lbs each, shaved 2-3lbs per wheel from my steelies which aren't that heavy to start with. About 28-29lbs per wheel now. Got the mags for $100, in great condition. I still prefer the 6 spoke classic look of my Sport Edition 15" mag on my summer wheels, but it's hard to find good looking 14" mags that don't give too much of a toy car look.

Very nice; looking good.
Where did you take these? Looks like somewhere up in Angeles Crest, but that area can't be any fun right now after all the fires... |

No kidding, eh!
Side note - are spiral stair cases like the one in the right of this photo fairly common where you're from? That thing is awesome lol. |
