Not changing widths is the *only* way to make the test valid - a 205/50-16 and a 205/45-17 have the same diameter while maintaining the same width, that is the very definition of "+1" - I don't see how that invalidates the test. I think maybe you are confusing +1 in the same rim size (215/45-16 vs. 205/50-16) with +1 with different rim sizes.
To your point, that was the exact concept behind the test - see if adding 4lbs but losing 1" of sidewall going from a 17 to an 18 was worth it. When I'm shopping, I find a wheel that meets the weight I want and screw the aesthetics. :D
