I will certainly do. I'm going to take my time for it though, these are some serious goals!

I'm currently looking at a rim/tire combination of ~10 kg or 22 lbs. That would give an improvement of 40 lbs of unsprung weight. The forged Audi A2 rims should fit my car.

In addition, a 175/65 LRR tire means 11% less contact area. It will reduce the engine speed as well because it is 2.2% taller.
