larger rims affect on gas milage?
i just took of my 13's finally and put on 16" rims and i noticed a slight decrease in acceleration in 2nd gear and what seems to be a drop in my gas millage.... did the larger rims cause this? just wondering if this is just something normal to expect from moving 3"s up in rims

i found an online calculate that tells you what tire sizes should go on what size rims to keep your odometer close to what it was originally... right now i have 16" primax rims with 205/40/r16 tires... the weight is deffinantly more than my american racing 13" estrella rims... thanks for the info... glad i dont' have to worry... guess i just need to save up and eventually buy some super light 16"s for the car....
