Also, the tyres were generic crap-o-tyres before, and crap-o-tyres now, so LRR tyres are on the wishlist!

I agree however that these wheels are heavier, and less aerodynamic. I prefer the look of these though, so I'm willing to compromise
when i changed tires on my vw lupo from 185/55 R14 to 155/65 R14 my fuel consumtion droped from 3,8 to 3,5 l/100 km
