wanna BECO,I did an installment on wheels and tires that will give you some numbers to compare.I've not touched on weight as I'm still doing aero.The weight difference between the "clean" Moonies and heavier steel wheels,shouldn't impact mpg with respect to the "dirty" alloy wheels.Consider brake cooling if your a urban street screamer.If you are easy on the binders,Moonies are a great way to go.
