I'd mostly agree with guitarterry. As is the case not only in wheels, but in general with the car, weight reduction tends to help more in city driving and aero helps more with highway driving. However, there may not be a huge difference in weight. The best thing to do would be to get the weights of the tires and wheels and see how they compare. If they are close, obviously the skinnier tire with solid cap would be better.
