If the tire weight remains the same, the benefits of lighter wheels are:
1. a bit better pickup
2. improved braking
3. a bit better steering response

Cons:
1. expensive
2. some are prone to cracking/bending during street use

16" Regas are pretty pimp... but 15" Regas are better (due to even less weight!)

I would rather have light weight rims over an ATS or JDM final drive.
