Maybe this is the reason why some people swear by lighter wheels and some can't tell the difference?

If you're going for weight get 17x7 to 17x8 wheels that are inherently light and stick with 215 or 225. You will save more weight than 2lbs.
To be honest, $2000 (wheels + tire cost combined) isn't bad if you lose 2lbs/corner, because you can get stickier 245s in case you autocross.
yes you pay to play.
Dry carbon parts, light batteries, carbon driveshaft. If you want the maximum weight reduction that you can get, you will eventually have to spend on wheels. What's more important to you, looks or weight?
