A lot of people really like the 162 wheels, but they weigh a ton with runflats mounted. While you can change the intake noise with a K & N, and the exhaust note with aftermarket muffler, you won't gain squat in performance.

But get those brick shoes off the corners and it makes a substantial difference. I switched to lightweight 19" wheels, went +2 on width, and still cut off 50 lbs of unsprung weight. Definitely accelerates quicker, handles better, and I think looks better.
