The brand of rims makes the difference in weight and quality. Rays Engineering makes excellent super-lightweight rims, but they are pricey.

Compressing your springs is like cutting them, the struts were intended only to go a certain distance until they blow. I've driven a car with four blown struts, not fun. Don't do things the cheap way.
