Braking power

So I noticed after my new rims went on the car seems to have more braking power. Im assuming its because the rims are lighter(even though they are bigger) I there any chance something is wrong

RE: Braking power

Nope, it should handle better because of less unsprung weight, also

Plus, if your new rims have a larger width, your tires probably will have a larger footprint.
