If you want that I can point you in the right direction. I have a set of 15 x 7 that weigh 13 lbs. The company, http://www.teamdynamicsusa.com makes 17 inch wheels that weigh 15.4, 17.6, and 19.14 lbs. your stock wheels weight 23 lbs. I'll wager that the 225/45 tires weight about 2 lbs more than stock, so even with the heaviest wheel they offer the total weight is down. You have to keep in ming inertia though and relieve that weight farther from the center of the wheel (16 vs 17 inch rim) weighs more. That's why I went with a 15 and a 225/50 r15 tire, total weight saving is easily an effective 8 lbs per wheel.
