wheel discussion for mpg - Toyota Yaris Forums

Y'all seem like reasonable and knowledgeable people and I'll start with driving habits.

The reason I mentioned wheels is because of experience. Stock 17" alloy wheels on 99-04 Mustangs are actually the lightest wheels you can get for the car (with the exception of some really, really expensive ones), and people would use a set of those stock wheels for drag radials for the weekend warrior group... a cost effective way to lighten the car and rotating mass for the strip...

I don't care about style at all for the car. I have traveled a bunch in Asia and find the quirky little Toyota to be a bit of a throwback to diving in Japan and getting around in Singapore. Weird but homey to me. :-)
