Dang, that will put me at 3600rpms at 70mph... With the 195/50-15 I was at 3400rpm at 70mph, and now with these 185/70-14 I'm at around 3200rpm at 70mph. I guess it really won't make much difference since I'm driving more around 60-65mph on the freeway now. I occasionally hit 70mph, but really only going downhill now.

Thanks so much for the replies guys. I will look into the pizza pan moon disc mod. I've already been thinking of doing that anyways, probably much cheaper, but I don't want it to look cheap. Know what I mean?
