One pound is a huge difference when you are talking about unsprung weight. Just google in "unsprung weight" and you'll get plenty of reasons why. And the OZs looks much better IMO.
One pound in the wheels matters some, but I'm thinking that 5-6 lbs. extra in the tire's weight will have even bigger negative impact on unsprung weight & rotational resistance (plus the added weight is further from center compounding the effect)...e.g. the Avon's look attractive, but I can't get by their weight of 29 lbs. (225/50-17). I hope to end up with something ~23-24 lbs. at most...looking for max acceleration.
