    You may run into rubbing issues if you put 17" rims on the Mirage.

    The rims you have now are tres nice Honestly love the new alloys. I have 2016's on my 2014 Mirage. I would trade for your rims for sure.

    Thank you. It is campaign road. There is poor trafic so I can stop to take picture. I use warning and I can quickly go back to the car if a car come. I love driving the car when there is sunset.

    I am thinkink about buying seat cover. Because I want to protect the actual seat. But I can't find seat cover for my Mirage purpose only. Do you know if it's existing ?

    I see. Nice you telling me. I am considering buying new wheel for winter. So I switch from winter/summer wheel/tires. If I am going to get rubbing issues then I prefer staying on 15" wheel. Thank you for advice.

    Mitsu - No way you should change your wheels. Spend your money on something else. Those stock wheels look GREAT.

    I'm ok with 78 hp. Let's call it 80 hp. How about a 750 cc 3-cylinder with a turbo and 80 hp? I would love that.

    Stay out of the boost and hit what ... 60, 70 mpg?

    Yeah, 3-cylinder, longitudinal with the car, direct lever manual trans and RWD. Wow. Nice.

    I was wondering the same. Look a few like a sport compact car but with a descent consumtion, insurance bill, etc...

    I am considering your advice about the wheel and I think I am going to keep them. They are "bi-ton" wheel with polish alloy and painted in black alloy.

    Here is a close-up view of the wheel (I put the picture in black and white) I need to wach them often.

    Going to 16" or 17" rims will dramatically increase your fuel consumption due to weight, contact patch and rolling resistance.

    Then I am going to keep my 15" rims because I wish to keep my actual consumption. Thank for advice all.
