Not just the weight, either. There's the rotational inertia to consider.
Which brings up a point that I've wondered about, off and on, since I started seeing cars with large rims & thin tires. Which weighs more? That is, if you keep the same tire diameter, can you save weight/inertia by going to a larger, lightweight wheel?
