To be honest, $2000 (wheels + tire cost combined) isn't bad if you lose 2lbs/corner, because you can get stickier 245s in case you autocross.
yes you pay to play.
Dry carbon parts, light batteries, carbon driveshaft. If you want the maximum weight reduction that you can get, you will eventually have to spend on wheels. What's more important to you, looks or weight?

Looks, to a reasonable extent. For example, I wouldn't go widebody because of the extra weight of the kit and wider wheels, but I do love the look.
As for going to 17x7-17x8 wheels, would that be sufficiently wide if I went FI, or does that depend solely on the tires?
