Is it worthwhile changing from the factory steelies over to Alloys, from an XL7 maybe?

Does anyone know what the weight difference is since that would be the main reason for changing?

Since heavier wheels are detrimental for perforance would I really notice having alloys compared to steelies?

Does anyone know of other alloy wheels I can go other then te XL7 which has the correct backspacing, PCD etc?

you might be suprised at the weight saving as well, lots of alloys are actually heavier

Then why would one bother to change to alloys, other then for the bling factor?
