I recently purchased an Altima Hybrid '07. Car is equipped with 16" Wheels but I would like to upgrade to size 18" or 19" wheels. Has anyone notice any changes on the gas milage? if not any suggestions on wheel brands.

it prolly wont make a huge diff in mpg, when you're racing it may be significant in terms of speed though

Welcome Hybrid owner! I'd recommend 18" in my opinion. Much better on the ride and you wont suffer any gas mileage issues IMO. Chances are your not doing too much speeding around that probably doesn't matter to him johnny

all depends on what style you like and what kind of budget you're on. enkei and ame are good, as are bbs and oz. i personally went with drag because they were $125 a wheel for 18" blacks and are light weight.
