H&R sports. And no, its not going to change the gas significantly.

That tire setup I put on there was taller then the OE diameters. So, yes, that tire setup would be the biggest reason for any difference in fuel mileage. As for your average forged wheels compared to your average cast wheels, I dont see how that would make a difference. The only case I can think of this happening is if the wheels are extremely on the heavy side, like some of the blinger wheels, that may do it.
