I don't need tires anytime soon (and don't need wheels at all), but I was "window-shopping" at tire rack dot com earlier today. I think I'm sticking with the steel wheels and saving my cash. I read all the forum threads on the dish/pie plate wheel covers; that sounds like a more fiscally-responsible alternative: more effect on FE and (much) less cost.
Honestly, this is the smallest car I've ever owned, and saving fuel hasn't ever been as important to me as now. I've spent the day reading, waiting to put the theory into practice.
(Now if I could only find the OBD II port in this car and had $150 for a ScanGauge...)
Thanks for the kind advice!
