LOL! The spoiler is stock. Makes the car go zoom zoom (sorry, Mazda 
).
The bigger wheels will kill the MPG. This ES 300h is my 4th Hybrid from the Toyota family and let's just say I have dabbled with wheels in the past AND regretted it. Take it from someone who knows..

I added new wheels and have not had a noticeable change in mpg. I went from stock to 18" and am still getting 40.3 (I have 300h).
I heard from my salesperson that all hybrids (300h) have spoilers as the aerodynamic part of the spoiler added 1 mpg to the average.
Who knows for sure?!?

so I will lose mpg for having a spoiler or bigger rims?

Lose for the rims, gain for the spoiler. You'll break even.

LOL. Depends on the size of rims. I've read on these forums that the stock wheels are very heavy So, an inch or two bigger rims shouldn't be much heavier. If you're really concerned with losing MPG then I'd just keep the stock wheels.
