The lighter the better obviously, it all comes down to moment of inertia (ie the heavier the wheel, the harder it is to get it to spin turn etc) which essentially puts more force/shock/load through your suspension/driveshafts etc.

But how much of that will correspond to a car driven on the streets of Perth is debatable, IMO two parts worth of fuck all. If you want it for track work, different story altogether......
