This is the main thing, I think. Lightest wheels in reasonable sizes and best aero could be find from cars that have been engineered efficiency on top of the priorities. Aftermarket wheels tend to be big, wide, heavy and not very aerodynamic, if they are not for racing, then they are more expensive than my car.
Insight 14-inch rim weight is very impressive! I've not decided yet which way to choose, but maybe 15 inch could be better for gearing and wheel gap with right tire size. I need to try to find Mini steel rims to weight, if those really are as light as mentioned, then it would be most bang for a buck.
