D@am.

I've had a hundred different answers to that same question in the last year.

The unofficial consensus was that I'd never feel a difference. I was told to buy what I wanted, regardless of weight because I'll be looking at them for a long time.

That said, anytime I've swapped wheels, I've always gone LIGHTER on the basis that the original engineers and road testers knew what they were doing. I also figured that with the FA20's relative lack of torque, it certainly wouldn't hurt to go lighter.

I recently settled on a 16x7.5" wheel weighing 17.9lbs.

I think that means I've saved 2.2lbs.

My priorities were:
Attractive design.
Lighter than stock.
Relatively inexpensive.
16" for less harshness.

What are YOUR priorities?
