Help with wheel choice

So I have a 2005 sienna and on the highway I get about 30 to 35 miles per gallon on the highway. I’ve changed oil to 0W-20 and this helped quite a bit. I’m wondering if changing from the stock 16 inch wheels (22 lbs) to either some lightweight, aftermarket wheels (16 lbs but not aerodynamic) or some steely’s (22 pbs) would improve my gas mileage. I have on Ecopia tires.

It would seem intuitive that lighter alloy wheels would get better mpg, but but I’ve seen a couple posts were people mentioned that the Steelers get better mileage than they got with alloy wheels ironically.

Thanks!!!
Wayne
