Although I looked for this topic, I didn't find it. If so, please move this post to that discussion.
Has anybody gone for lighter-weight replacement wheels? Has anyone even looked into it? How much weight could be saved?
I've added weight with a trailer hitch, and probably a little extra wind resistance with mud flaps. I saw online that there ARE carbon fiber hoods available for the RAV4 but don't know if they'd even fit the EV. I'm not so keen on replacing body parts like the hood, but when it comes time to buy new tires, I'd consider a new set of wheel rims too.
Any suggestions or thoughts on this?
