Maybe it's that the light wheel reduces the amount of energy that can be had from regen braking. I know a couple people on priuschat have done a lot of testing with 17s and shown the heavy weight made a fuel economy hit.
OP where did you get them and in what size? I'm also looking for a light pair of wheels and like these.
