Anyone replaced their rims with lighter ones and noticed a MPG improvement?




Trying to see if its worth it or to just get "pretty" rims instead of lightweight "race" rims.
Personally, I vote for HEAVIER rims, but my opinion doesn't count because I mean in-wheel electric motors, which would certainly mean better economy.
