Searching for light weight wheel/tire pacakage
I am thinking of getting a second set of wheels/tires for commuting. I would like to go as light as possible to try and help with mpg. Thinking less weight is easier to spin up and keep moving. Together with lower friction street tires vs. ATs should be noticeable at the pump.
I am considering a simple 5 or 6 spoke 17" or 18" wheel with a lower 60 or 65 profile.
Anyone know the weight of the factory 15" alloy wheels and if any wheels in these sizes could be of similar weight? Save the weight on the tires.
Does anyone know of any factory wheels in these sizes that would fit. Hoping to save some bucks on used wheels vs. new.

If you get larger diameter wheels that are reasonably light your tires will be lighter then small rim large tire combo usually.

Yes I know, that's why I stated that I am looking for a larger wheel that fits that I will run a lower profile tire on.
