Since the wheel is part of the sprung weight of the suspension, it seems to me that changing the mass of the wheel+tire would require changing the factory springs (and their rate) also. Less mass in the wheels will result in a lack of full compression of the springs and I suspect that the ride will become rather stiff and paradoxically you could lose some control and contact with the road. Am I misunderstanding something here?
