I had the same rational when I bought mine. I have the ZX3R's for weight savings. I don't know if I'd limit myself for a couple lbs though. They have come out with a slough of other killer step lip wheels since. I'm assuming you are going to 18's? The wheel you pictured has grown on me but not one of my favorites. Wheels are a personal choice...... Take your time. Picking wheels is a bitch!
