Hello there! It was with great surprise that I received an email warning me there was a new reply to this almost decade-old thread. Time really does fly!

It's been too long for me to remember this well. But, if I'm not mistaken, highway fuel efficiency took a very small hit with the lighter wheels, due to poorer coasting.
In practical terms I loved the car's handling so much I kept them on until I sold the vehicle in 2018.
Such a neat car. It was immaculate. This made me nostalgic. I'm not even in the same country anymore.
