In general any wheel that weighs less (in pounds) than it's size in inches.

15lbs for a 15" wheel
16lbs for a 16" wheel
17bls for a 17" wheel

The ultra light wheels go much lighter than that. In the 10's and 11's lbs for 17" wheels.

There's no reason NOT to buy a light weight wheel, as long as it is strong. Good, cheap lightweight wheels are out there. Konig Heliums are probably the best known.
