quick opinion on rims

i currently have 17" konig trouble rims and want something lighter. Thinking of either getting new lighter weight tires- falkens AND light weight lug nuts

or im considering if its worth the money buying new light 15"s or 16"s


Main thing is...will getting new light weight falken tires + alluminum racing lug nuts really shed off some noticable weight??

There are various shops here in S. Florida which due to competition are offering some kool wheel and tire packages ...

the 15s im talkin abt are replicas of rotas ... and they are $599 with 205/60/15 tires including mounting and balancing.

17s are for like $699 with tires and same Moutning and balancing included.

They dont have a webstie though
