Sure, the more weight the axle has to turn will require more HP, but the difference on your quad isn't noticeable. If you're worried about it that much you should be buying the lightest possible tires before worrying about rims. There's more centrifugal force with the tires' weight than with the weight of the rims.

Well really it wont slow you down. It might show a little loss on a dyno but you shouldn't feel it. Any ways for snow you want traction so it could possably help you out.

Steal will be fine. I don't think you gotta worry about having too much power in the winter:scary:
