My wheel of choice is the Honda Insight wheel (2000-2006). The Bridgestone tires that came on them were among the lowest rolling resistance on any production car, past or present, and the 165/65r14 tires + wheels are only ~22-23lbs, and have great aero. They're also a hair larger (22.4 vs 21.8).

I like them but isn't an Insight wheel bolt pattern 4x100 instead of the Metro's 4x114.3?
13 lb tire weight is pretty good, and if I located a nice lightweight wheel with 4x114.3 bolt pattern I would have my dream team of tires
