16s will generally be lighter than 17s, so if weight is a concern, stick with 16's, plus your tires will be a little cheaper.

As for lightweight wheels, SSR, Rota, Speedy, Volk are a few that offer lightweight wheels. Enkei and Konig also have some that are fairly light. The best rule of thumb is the find some that are about 1 pound per inch, so a 16 inch wheel should weigh about 16 pounds. Not always the case as some wheels are lighter than that. Most of your "standard" aftermarket wheels are closer to 20-25 pounds each.

Performance rubber is up to you and your driving habits. There are some great tires out there that will give you great all season performace and not be a "summer" tire.

Hope that helps.
