I decided to replace the stock 14's for aftermarket 14's

Final product installed They fit perfectly and work perfectly. Zero issues on the road, and they really make my homely Mirage look like a champ! I'm so glad I opted for the rims as well as the tires, easily the best decision I made on the entire car

Thanks Bill! I hope the Bridgestones are doing well for you as well

Wheels can really make a ****box look good. Keep us posted on your mpg? It'd be a good source of data for all looking to upgrade their wheels. The Vision Cross on our G4 are 14 x 5.5" and have made a small impact on overall fuel economy but it's worth it. Your 14 x 6" wheel/tire combo is really popping! Fat Joe would be proud.

Thanks! It's kind of hard for me to do any meaningful mpg reporting as my driving now that I'm retired is pretty random and not at structured. But I did do the same run this week I did last week with similar traffic and weather yesterday and found the mpg numbers pretty much the same. I don't consider a few(1-3)mpg difference to be a detriment, anything can really cause that from altering your speed from trip to trip to traffic to weather, so this isn't too important to me in the end. It's going to be what it's going to be and we can only control it so much. But the Mirage is an economy champ regardless and I'm still loving not stopping at every gas station I see, it makes dealing with all of it's compromises so much easier

What's your future plan for the extra steel rims & new Bridgestone tires?

[BillAce]

Winter tires on steel rims and swap BS to the stock SE wheels unless I find new wheels I really like in the spring

That's pretty much how I would have used them, too. Having an extra set of rims for winter tires is nice, & I would have used the Bridgestone tires to replace my factory tires eventually.

New steel rims & Bridgestone tires are easily a $600-700 value if buying them new. Plus, factory hubcaps are worth a chuck of change on top of that.

Glad this worked out for both of you!
