This statement baffles me.
Are you able to sell parts you took off?
If you were, that is now money in your pocket. You could spend it on something sensible like good beer. If you spend it on expensive aluminum bits, it has a cost. Period.
My personal opinion, is what others here are saying. The fuel saving is infinitesimal. If you have to pay someone to mount and balance tires from your steelies to the aluminum rims, it likely isn't worth it. If they already have good tires on them, wait until the current tires need replacing and make the switch then. Or maybe put all seasons on one set of rims and LRR summer tires on the others.
