Message	going for medium handling/comfort and more economy...it's clearly not a sports car. 14x6 stock wheels, bought 15x6.5 rotas. The rotas are only 12 lbs but those centercaps just scream "vandalize me" so I put flush mount plugs, painted them black, and use those as centercaps. Right now I am using 205/55/15, and there's too much sidewall flex and it's wide, sucking economy...I'm thinking that using a narrower tire will let me break 50mpg. Thinking of using 195/55/15, maybe a 195/60/15. .....................................
