Sorry it took me so long to get back to you guys as I had a death in the family. So I am trying to figure out if its with trading my aftermarket wheels for stock wheels that also have new tires if I can find someone on craigs list who will do it.

Issue in having is I think my car stock had steel wheels with hubcaps right? I see there are some hx model wheels I could hunt down but they are 1" smaller as they are 14's. But they are alloy and much lighter I would think than steelies. Would the difference in coasting ability and fe difference be noticeable if I moved to the steel wheels with a tire with more sidewall since they also will be more narrow?

Or should I try and find a trade for some hx wheels? They will be lighter but the 14" seems like it would raise my rpm at highway speed? Need so advice guys Thanks!
