Yup. Rolling resistance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brian,
Your GL has a 4x140 bolt pattern. There are no aftermarket wheels in 14" or 15" (I've looked), but you can get steel & alloy wheels in 14" and 15" from a Peugeot 505. Watch out for 390's, those require expensive metric tires. If you get the alloy ones, get the lug nuts too, you will need them. You can also get some 6x140 wheels from a Mighty Max or Dodge D-50 and drill them out to 4-lugs, if they are flat between the lugs.
