Is 500e Wheel upgrade worth it?

[DUMBledore]

I'm doing a new project. I recently bought my mom's 2015 500e and I'm already itching to make some upgrades. I'm thinking of going the aerodynamic route with underfloor panels, a windshield wiper delete, and lowering. But first things first, those wheels have got to go! I've found this set on Marketplace and I'm not sure if it's a good fit. Will they help with range or make it worse?

I think you might forgotten to add the sizes of the set.

But knowing the 2015 500e comes with a 15-inch wheel size with a 6-inch width and a 15-inch diameter, then this is what I think you should be aware of.
Also, there are some OEM wheel options available for the 2015 Fiat 500e, including 15" x 6" and 17" x 7" sizes.
The point is that as long as there are not fit-issues, then things should be ok.
What does you mother think about the changes?

Sounds super exciting, generally, lighter wheels are great for efficiency, while heavier or less aerodynamic ones will surely reduce the range. It’s a good idea to check the weight and see if they're good for your vehicle before making the swap.

Bottom line? It all boils down to wheel size and weight, man! Those are the key players in whether your range gets a boost or takes a hit! So what’s the scoop on those wheels you’re eyeing man?

Yeah, if you can snag the weight and width of both your current wheels and the ones you're eyeing, it'll totally help you make a way better choice!
