Why the concern about weight? Most rims are not going to give you any more advantage of anything as far as weight goes. The amount of horsepower isn't going to be noticeable from a 5lb difference.

Now something that will give you noticeable difference will be the height of your tires. The taller you go the harder it is to spin tires. The shorter the easier. It's not like most things where bigger = more torque capabilities. In this aspect it requires more torque.
