Some people upgrade wheels for looks and others do it for performance. You can actually get better mpg if the wheels you get are lighter than your OEM wheels.

But most of the time you get better cornering, better braking, and better acceleration because the tires you use are wider.

thanks :bigthumb:

Without rims you couldnt have tires & you would get very shitty gas mileage:bloated:

heavy rims with reduce gas mileage
