Lighter wheels is 100% worth the investment. And I didn't say you had to spend as much as a grand. I'm in the process of negotiating for a set of wheels that weigh 15.8 lbs each, and the guy is asking for $500. You can get good deals if you look for them. Coilovers are mainly for #stancenation (and I use that term loosely) purposes and you won't feel much of a difference performance-wise from stock with them. Shaving 5 pounds off each corner is something that you can actually feel while driving.

I'm starting to come round to this way of thinking about coilovers. I daily mine with light track use, and I don't think it's worth it getting them for the risk they will be too hard on the road, all the tinkering that has to happen, the potential they will rust, and the 2k needed to get a good set. I think I'd rather put up with a bit of floppyness on track and wheel arch gaps that are a bit too big.
For the OP, I'm supercharged at 240wheel and I find that stock rims with good tyres (PS4s) is enough grip. Would like to save some weight with the wheels, but not sure if it's worth the cash needed for a good set of 17s.
With the brakes - stock ones were pathetic on track so I got a front BBK
