   What would be lighter in weight??:
   
   14" Standard VTR wheels - 195/55/14 tyres
   or
   
   16" OZ superturismo WRC's - 195/40/16 tyres

   At a guess id say the vtr ones bud, my 15" OZ supertourismos arnt light at all imo so the 16s would be even heavier and the 14s really should have 2 wiegh less i think

   It wouldnt be that big of a difference though, even though the VTR's would be a bit lighter, Id still go for the better performance and looks of the WRC beasts! =]
