With gas prices going through the roof (i.e. $87 to fil my tank) have after market wheels affected the MPG and performance of the sedans? I need your thoughts and opinions guys.

 

Lighter + taller wheels = more gas mileage especially on high way.

 

As a general rule when you upsize tires and wheels you will negatively affect MPG.

I have noticed this on every car i have owned. It can range from a few mpg difference up to around 8-10. Style of driving and whether city or highway makes a difference also.

Just and FYI...

I went to 19's -and i'm getting around 14 in the city and 22 on the highway.

Thats nothing to do with the wheels. Thats due to driver mod. I have 20's and still get 17-18mpg city and recently avg 27.6 highway with only 3k miles and 1 oil change. Wheels will affect gas mileage. But not that much.

 

Wont make much differences, dont bother if you are trying to save money on gas.

 

On board computer tells me I'm averaging 20 mpg.

 

I appreciate it fellas, terrycs, your ride is lookin great bro..
