If you're spending most of your time at cruising velocity, don't worry so much about the weight of the wheels. The added inertia doesn't hurt you much. If you're doing a lot of stop-and-go or spend a lot of time in the almost mythically potholed DC and NoVA roads, then lighter wheels will make for a more economical, smoother ride.

I grew up in DC, I know the roads can be a disaster.

Add smoothie wheel covers, or make some fender skirts for the rear wheel wells (how do they pitch it as an economy car and leave those big air buckets open like that?) for better air flow control.
