      Tough question, and it only allows 140 characters here! I'm keeping stock alloys, covers off, and probably getting slightly oversize tires.

      I just picked up the Prime and had a question. You seem to be very knowledgeable regarding upgrading the tires and rims on it. I live in SE WI. What should I do if I'm after a more sportier look for the rims. I hate the alloy wheel and hubcap combo, but they provide the best EV range and overall mpg's. If I upgrade to 17's I want to make sure I do if it right. Or is it best to leave everything as is?
