,
that will depend on tyre size and how deep your pockets are .
7" are plenty big enough for most usage 195 x45 xa5 or 7-22 racing size ,std offset ,
lighest wheels will be under 5kgs each --maybe ubder 4kg ,but think around £300 a wheel .
you can save at least 30kgs over std wheels +tyres,which aprt from the grip will lower your unsprung weight and make suspension work better
tyre weights also if you go for acb10,s they are less than half the weight of normal road tyres +are road legal ,but will cost you over £100 each,
so how serious are you in your statment

its all hyperthetical hence i didnt mention cost. What i was getting at is ive hyperthetically i put some 8j lower offset wheels on would this benefit or ruin the handling. Its just something i was pondering lol. Theory is that wider wheels = more contact area = more grip but lower offset can have detrimental effects to handling cant it? altering the scrub radius and increasing bump steer????

Suspension blows my mind
