The Metro has a small engine and light weight like the Insight, but aerodynamics make it much less fuel efficient. Unlike the Insight, there is a lot one can do to improve the aerodynamic efficiency of the Metro, and see some pretty sweet gains.

kammback, side skirts and an air dam I had thought about, but I kinda want to chop it just to be different.
I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by brake reduction clips, and would the wheels you described bolt up? how about hub size? I'm always leery about wheel swaps because I've seen so many people put wheels with the wrong hub bore on without hub rings, and even at that I don't really trust hub rings as anytime I've taken off wheels with them they always seem to be cracked.
Also what Bridgestone tires are you referring to? The stock size is 145/80/12 and I'm learning they are hard to come by.
