i think these changed with different years
on a 2002 you just pull the front of the felt bit up, then pull out
why dont you go for the dash tray, well worth it !!
why is there a presumption that there will be added weight
there are some extremley lightweight wheels available
and they would have less tyre on them
if the circumferance of a wheel is larger
the distance travelled by one revolution would be more !
so in theory it would go faster
and have less tyre wear
