How much are stylish wheels worth to you?

To be stylish one needs to pay. With automotives, once you decide to build your cars as stylishly as possible, there are definitely many items to be paid for.

On the streets, we often see a car with stylish wheels, either oversized, the manufacturer's standard or thinner tires. It really looks cool but does it really deserve the price?

The modification of wheels and tires will surely impact on the vehicle's acceleration and its fuel consumption. Acceleration will be heavier and slower. This fact has a consequence, an ineffective use of fuel.

Why is that so? In a car transmission, there is a part called the final drive, for example one per 3.8 (one tire rotation is equal to 3.8 engine movement). If one (the diameter of the tire) is enlarged then it will need more power to move the engine.
