Does alloy wheels use more feul the normal wheels?

If you change from standard steel wheels to bigger diameter alloy wheels with lower profile tyres then the rolling resistance increases very slightly, roughly 1% extra for every one inch increase in wheel diameter, so you will use slightly more fuel, but if you stick to the same size alloy wheels as steel wheels then no difference in performance.
