new hybrid wheels

[hop-1]

does anyone like the wheeks on the new hybrids? i think theyre ugly as sin. my dad just got one and he hates them too. he said hes willing to sacrifice the extra 5 mpg you get with them and get different ones. i dont know much about wheels but does anyone have any suggestions on some lightweight wheels that would look alright on a hybrid? (in honor of south park.......... thankss!!)

ps its silver if thats any help

those are hands down the ugliest wheels ive ever seen. i would rather roll on some steelies. sorry i dont have any suggestions for you but that episode of south park was hilarious i think ill go watch it right now

does anyone know if a drop on a hybrid would affect gas mileage? aerodynamically or somethin?

It would help but probably not enough that you would ever notice it. I don't think the hybrid wheels are that bad, I wouldn't want them but I think they work for the car.

less wind resistance would note in better MPG, but a very minute amount at that. not enough to care about. its pretty areo friendly as it is

good good i think im gonna try to convince him to drop his s**t. a 50 year old man with the sickest hybrid around. (if there is such a thing as a sick hybrid)

if i pulled up next to a 50 yr old dude with a hybrid that was dropped and had some nice wheels on it i would give him props and tell him i like his s**t.

google - K-Sight, then click images
(the swapped motor makes it a "hybrid")

but why drop it and all that money?

thats inzane mang! my life is somehow a little better now that ive seen that.
i dont think he wants anything that outlandish, for lack of a better word. i think hes happy with the engine he has just not the wheels

Ditch the hybrids for stock 8th gen wheels?

I wouldnt drop a hybrid, itll ruin the point of having a hybrid.


Honestly, if I were an 8th gen owner and I found some Hybrid wheels, id pick them up and use them for a road trip or for long drives to save some gas.
