Yeah. Hated to, but yeah. Blue one still ran and drove. But they both had an incredible amount of rust.Originally posted by runner406 View PostBuck.

Finished blacking out the engine bay and underside of the hood. Put rear bumper and tail lights back in. Now for the door sills and gas cap tomorrow. So tired of sanding, cleaning, prepping, priming, and painting.Semper Fi til I die!

I wouldn't want to go with anything bigger. On my last Echo Hatchback, I had 17" tires with EXTREMELY low profile tires, and it reduced my gas mileage by over 10% . This is due to the additional rolling resistance as the weight is further away from the center of the wheel. (Inertia and all that, lol) Take a look at the graph on this fuelly page for my old Echo ---> http://www.fuelly.com/driver/darlo/echo It is really cool that I saw an overnight difference of +6mpg!

Here is an image of the wheels I had on the other echo, but my tires were much smaller.....http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/3968/corewhlsqf5.jpg

I like the mesh wheels. I hope I haven't said something wrong, it just looks like the wheels are confused.
I wouldn't change the size. Meshies may actually help your MPG's...Last edited by DriverOne; 05-24-2012, 03:15 PM.In love with a MadScientist!:thumbright:

Haha, no you havent said anything wrong, lol.....I dont enjoy the wheels that are on there either! I will have to google a mesh wheel, as I have no idea what that means, lol.......Thanks for the suggestionOriginally posted by DriverOne View Post
EDIT ---- I now see that the ones I had on my previous echo were considered mesh wheels, hahahahhahaha. I did like those ones a lot! I wonder if I went with a 15" mesh wheel if I would gain MPG? I LOVE TO GAIN MPG! lolLast edited by Darlo; 05-24-2012, 03:21 PM.Comment
