I suppose it is feasible. I would question the reasoning. I have a set of 14 inch steel rims for an application and found that they were lighter in most cases than just about all the aluminum factory and aftermarket rims available.

If you want to go forward and do some lightening, safety becomes an issue. Wheel design isn't for the faint of heart and ignorant. It is the first contact your car has with the road and is one of the most highly loaded parts of your car from a dynamic range of rest to pot hole hits at speed.
