Anyway to the OP : i was running rims that weighted twice as much, and tyres that weighted twice as much too. Honestly, it does not really matter. There is a bit more inertia but not much. If you stay NA though, there is no point in using more than 205 width tyres (even then, try federal RSR tyres, they wont be the same as crappy 205 tyres)

I guess I should've included wheel weight, but I was assuming common knowledge would dictate an average 17x9 wheel be heavier than a 17x8.5 wheel. Also there is a point to use a bigger tire than a 205 if he does auto-x or something of that nature. Anywho OP if its just a DD pretty much any set of wheels would be fine. Also, any tire 235 or under would be good. 255 and higher is a little too much tire for a stock single cam.
