Hello,

I drive a 2015 Camry Hybrid LE with the plastic wheel covers. Mileage is outstanding--been averaging over 44mpg since May 2015.

However, when it comes time to replace my tires, I've been thinking about going with alloy wheels. But I want something that is more aero and lighter weight than the steel wheels w/plastic covers. I don't want to sacrifice fuel economy and I think if I do it right, I can actually improve economy. I might even size up from the 16\" to 17\" as long as they are light and aero, I don't think it will make that much difference.

However, it's so hard to find wheel weights. I considered the Avalon Hybrid wheels which look aero, and are beautiful.

Has anyone else found nice alloy wheels for a Camry Hybrid LE that maintain or enhance fuel economy?
Please help.

Thanks.
