if you want to get technical, lighter rims = less unsprung weight for the engine to sling around = better performance/acceleration. Could be considered either duratec performance or zetec performance...but a performance mod nonetheless.

Of course not, NO ONE in my family has changed their own oil, that's what dealerships are for. Now other fixing (stuff that dosent involve RUINING the car) I do...

Kids today... Anyway, back to the point of the post, what size are you wanting? 9.9 pounds is awful light!

I was going to say ENKEI's are pretty good and light. Other than that though, I'm not sure.
