Did you keep the wheel, though?
It won't help if you get a puncture.

By the way, my lad's just bought a £400, 1.7 Puma as a winter hack and stripped out 120kg. It might even go quite well now.

It'll still look like a puma though

... Unless he stripped of the body panels

120kg is alot what's left?? my impreza is pretty stripped with lightweight everything and I've only dropped 97kg

The 120kg was a guess, as it felt about half as much again as the 80kg (weighed) that he took out of his 306 some time ago.
No, there isn't a lot left and although it feels more sprightly, it wouldn't suit me.

And yes, it still looks like a Puma ...

Still, if 400 quid gets him through the winter, who's knocking it?

The ALU wheel nuts are fine, some copper grease on the threads and do not over torque, no issues then.
