No. Section 5.4.B: "The negative points assessed for rollover protection
and fire extinguishers may only be used to offset other points assessed in
Section 5.4.C." Wheels and bars are in 5.4.D. Also note that when
upgrading wheels, there's an earlier rule about not having the tire tread
visible from above.

Besides the fact that you're well into street prepared, primarily
that it would shake up the stock classes a lot while everyone
figured out the hot prep for each car. Sort of a bigger "why not remove the
front bar allowance". No better reason that I can think of. Many of the
marque clubs use a points system for preparation.
