16"?

I know the fad is to go bigger, but would 16" wheels make sense? I'm thinking that all things considered equal, the wheels and the tires would both be lighter in that size vs. 17" or 18", which I believe would be the most important thing. Also, I'm guessing that both the wheels and tires would be less expensive. Since the base model comes with 16" wheels, I figure they should clear the brakes.

The only downside I can think of is less "cool" factor, but I'm focusing on performance and function in this application. Any thoughts?
