Are the current wheels worth much? Even if the other wheels gave you a decent MPG increase, they would take quiet a while to pay off at $600-1200. If you went from 45 to 50MPG, it would take 67,500 miles to break even at $4 a gallon, double that distance for the $1200 wheels. So unless you could get a few hundred for your current wheels, I would just pizza pan them and call it good.
