My goal is VERY near now....I have a buyer for the Special Edition CD rims with 195x50x15 tires and my 11 lb rims are on their way over (4 lbs lighter than the CDs) and the 155x80x13 Kumho Powerstar tires are another 5 lbs lighter per corner...a total rotating wt reduction of 36 lbs which will make my car 1594 lbs instead of its current 1630. I am looking to get into the 60 mpg best figure and looking to stay in the high 50s. So far I have hit 57 mpg 4 times, two times with the original steel rims and 13s and two other times with thee great looking 15s. The more modern 13s rated for 41 max TP should roll better than the old 35 psi 13s that were on it....and the 11 lb rims should help a ton!!!
