i say stick with your stock wheels and stock tires. even if you get lightweight 14s, the tire you put on there will probably both equal heavier than your stock wheel and tire. Atleast that was the case for my setup. I had the stock 14" wheels and skinny tires from the factory. The stock rim was suppose to weigh 14lbs, not sure what it weighed with the stock tire on it. Anywho, I got lighter aftermarket rims (10-11lbs) which were lighter than mystock rims. however, once i put my tire on that rim, it combined to be heavier than my stock wheel and rims. But i'm not going for FE.

i'd just get the underdrive pulley and takeout the back seat.
