I have a set of OEM Spark EV wheels in Portland, OR - listed on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/272702514270 In Excellent condition, no road-rash. The Forum seems to be blocking images from TinyPic for no apparent reason, but the eBay listing has good pictures.

I wouldn't bet on that calculation - .2 sec is a lot, and 40 lbs. is probably closer to the Spark's seats anyway.

No measurable gains in either range or speed. You would only be removing 50-75 lbs. from the car. Taking out the back seats would also let in quite a bit of road noise.

The Rotas are sold. I'll put the stock wheels on eBay when I get around to it - they are still available.

A couple of pix of the Rotas on the car.

I used the 205s on the front for a while, but concluded that they really belong on the rear to tame the Spark's butt-heavy handling. The Rotas need the spacer on the front.

At the moment, I'm using winter tires on stock wheels, but I'm selling the car to buy a Bolt. The Rotas were no big deal once Nashco did the experimentation and found that they fit. They use a 5mm spacer on the front wheels, and fit fine on the rear. If the wheels/tires don't sell here, I'll put...

Note: I've edited the description of the stock wheels - they are the stock F and R sizes, i.e. two 15x6" and two 15x6.5". Sorry for the confusion - my fault.

I tried the LEDs recommended in the threads here, and they do not work worth a darn. The pattern you get is soft and fuzzy with no sharp cutoff, so you are dazzling oncoming drivers, and you would have to be deluded to think that they put out more light. I agree with D. Stern that they are a...

It's not cheap, but it's the only way to put a coating on aluminum that is durable and really sticks to the metal.

Um - the OEM floor mats do not fit these wheels. Wheels and tires are in excellent condition, with no curb rash.

Lloyd Mats are available for the EV, and you can get them as luxurious as you want to pay for. http://lloydmats.com/

I have two sets of Spark EV wheels for sale: 1) Four 2016 OEM wheels in stock sizes, i.e. two 6x15" and two 6.5x15". Includes TPMS sensors. Excellent condition, no curb rash. 2) SOLD - Four Rota Slipstream wheels in 15x6.5" width, ET40, with Dunlop DZ102 tires. Tire sizes are 195x50 and 205x50...

A lot of people think the model 3 will sell like crazy as a mid-size car at a moderate price. However, the model S is a Huge car, and the 3 is only 12" shorter. It's still a big car, and a lot of people (like me) don't like driving a big boat.

Don't bother with LEDs - they do not work worth a darn. There is a lengthy thread in the forum by people who tried it. Go to Amazon and get the brightest Philips bulbs you can afford for an upgrade. (The headlights will still not be very good.)
