Problem with weight reduction is it pretty much has to be designed into the car from the ground up then use the power of mass production and buying in bulk to make it cost effective.
If I wanted to put lighter wheels on my leaf it would cost hundreds of dollars per wheel even after I factor in selling my old ones.
