Great stuff. I'd like to add something very important that wasn't in that test: ride quality. The heavier the wheel, the lighter the car body is relative to the suspension. Just like a kenworth dominating a geo in a traffic accident; heavy suspension makes the car move a lot relative to the suspension when you hit a bump.
Cliffs? Light wheels means you're allowed to have super stiff suspension with magic carpet ride quality. Do this.
