Hx wheels or 14" hybrid wheels?

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.

Is the child safety lock engaged on your passenger rear door?

I think I might.

Ah I wish I knew, but the handle doesn't feel connected

The ones that are on there now are 6 star 14" enkei. They might already be pretty light. I'll get a picture up maybe can identify them.

It's not that I recommend the larger tire, it's that the size I mentioned is generally more available compared to the 165's. I tries to find 165's and couldn't find them anywhere
