I wanted to get an idea how much weight difference we are talking about. The Camry actually has a full size spare so I weighed it, its 40 pounds. The new wheels I bought are 16 pounds and I weighed a 195/65 15 tire I had laying around it weighed 17 pounds. So roughly dropping 7 pounds per tire/wheel which is 28 pounds I think that's substantial.

Spare was a steel wheel with a Michelin MX4 195/70 14. The 195/65 15 was a Firestone FR710. I know the weight will vary depending if I go with that size and the brand/style of tire.
