Any wheels are going to feel lighter than what you had lol

I still don't know why the M sport wheels are cast, they should have been forged and lightweight to make the car feel like it's got more juice!

you grind down the 2 small tabs in the back of the center cap with a dremel and the emblems just fall out.

Another option if you don't have a dremel handy, take a drill and lightly drill the rivet. Doesn't have to go all the way through just hollow it out. Then get pliers and squeeze the hollowed rivets, emblems will then also fall off. (Couldn't find the dremel at work )
