Anyone lose MPG after switching tires or wheels?

Seems pretty normal to me. Wider, stickier tyres along with greater mass equals worse gas mileage

After doing some google research it appears the OEM wheels are actually really heavy. I saw 24-26 lbs quoted. So my 18" wheels are probably slightly lighter then. I'll have to try weighing both to see if the manufacturer is even honest about the weight
