This comment perked my interest so I looked at the weight difference of BFG g-Force Sport's (one tire that had 205's in 15', 16', and 17's) as listed by Tire Rack

Size: 205/40/17
Weight: 21 lbs

Size: 205/45/16
Weight: 19 lbs

Size: 205/50/15
Weight: 21 lbs

So according to tirerack the tires are the same weight, and you save wheel weight.
