Weigh them out maybe, and if the alloys are lighter than the steelies you can get a taller, narrower tire with less sidewall and less weight.

True, if you don't have another set of wheels to sell to cover the cost, I agree ROI will be a while.

Mine cost ~$310 roughly including tires and balancing, and with a ~5% improvement in city driving, that's over 80,000 miles to break even if it weren't for selling my OEM set for nearly $400.
