Yeah I guess I could start removing stuff like the sound insulation, I'm kinda curious about removing the Power steering, but with the big wheels on it, its most likely not possible. I was trying to find the weight of the OB wheel, but I couldn't find it only. I would assume its somewhere between 20-23 pounds. The Envigors are 26lbs new. So my wheel weight is 45-50lbs per corner. Tire rack has 17lb wheels and a Kumho ecowing tire @ 24 lbs. So for the tune of $840 I could loose almost 20 lbs of rotational mass, or just buy gas for 6 months...lol I think I need to find a 15" Impreza alloy and weigh it up and mock up to see if it fits.

Or opt to the cheaper side and buy the pulley and LEDs and hope for the best.
