I changed my wheels to 18" BBS RK's that weigh approx. 18lbs. When I was commuting with traffic and really concentrating on being efficient, I lost an average of 2-4 mpg. On long trips or open traffic, it was as bad as 7-9 mpg less.
Given the the big difference and some stuff going on with my "project" car (finally upgrading the turbos on my S4 wagon), I mounted the stockers back on...I immediately felt a difference in acceleration and was returning back to 45+ mpg. Of course, she no longer looks as good
