It will affect your mpg some, but it probably won't be too bad. Those wheels might look good if you painted them, because the chrome + black color scheme is a bit played out. Some nice wheels on your car have the potential to look like sex.

Top speed will not be effected, but your acceleration and mpg will suffer slightly.

it's not like you are tracking or autocrossing the vehicle right?
