Just about finished ski racing season (looks like my daughter is heading to
the Junior Olympics at Jackson!).  First local solo event is April 8 so I
better get the Blizzaks off and something else on.

My questions:

1.  My RS comes with 16X7 wheels, but I thought some 15 X 7 or 15 X 7.5
would be lighter and lower my effective gear ratio.  Is this a good idea or
bad idea?  Any recommendations on lighter rims with the correct offset for
the Impreza RS?

2.  As this will be my first "semi-serious" year of autocrossing (in STS),
anyone have reservations about Kumho Ecsta 712s?  What size (205/50/15 - 5%
shorter?  205/50/16 - 2.4% shorter?  225/40/16 - 5% shorter? 225/50/16 -
same)??

3.  Does an Impreza RS (2001) have a rev limiter?

Many thanks to All!!!
