if you drive really slow all the time, which you wont, you'll wanna step on the gas every now and then, the mods prolly wont make a big enough mpg gain to offset the cost of the mods, your better off driving slow and keeping on top of your maintenance.

You'll prob get a slighty better mpg, but with the K&N and exhaust mods, your butt dyno isn't gonna be worried about mpg.

The best thing you can do is drive conservatively. For instance, was watching a DVRed spisode of Top Gear UK the other day where a Toyota Prius was driven hard around the track and an M3 driven just fast enough to keep up. The M3 got the better gas mileage.

Those wee-tods don't know that actually buying one, in reality, creates more pollution

So I'm looking for a summer set of tires and wheels and the choices are insane. So many different wheels to choose from.

I really like the look of the Weds SA67R or 60M (+35) but I'm not sure if my car can pull it off. My car is a bone stock brilliant silver X which will be lowered 1" (w/springs) when I get new wheels. Not sure if I want to go 18s or 19s.

I know another member used to have the SA67s but his car was slammed and I'm not doing that since I want to maintain functionality. They looked sick on his car and I like the exclusivity since I haven't see many another sedans with em.

^Prepare to pay handsomely for that one! It'll quite likely have to be shipped from Japan.
