    Grr!! thats what i forgot to do!

    :/ sadly there was a huge drop in MPGs. (I put the wheels on a few weeks before lowering the car).

    i dropped to 35 mpg initially. (but i've also moved a lot closer to school -4 miles now.)

    although now it seems to have settled in quite a bit, and i've been able to get more close to 41mpgs in ECO mode.

    They're 19"s so I expected MPGs to drop. I'll try and weigh em the next chance I get to!

    YES. the MPG drop had me really sad at first. with stock wheels I was able to drive swiftly. comfortably. and easily get 50mpgs..

    I do have my eye out for some smaller wheels, that aren't so costly on the MPG side
