i went to some honda vx wheels. On my application its a savings of 9 pounds per wheel+tire. I'm back to the stock tire size, so we shall see if there is a gain on this brand new tank. Remember the lighter your wheels/tires are your brakes should last longer as well, so its not just mpg's to consider. If you can go extra months with never taking your car apart that is money saved too. My aspire is a delivery car so the lighter i can get it the better, as i never see the highway more than 4-5 miles in any direction.
