BigBill - were you particular about your tire selection (in terms of low rolling resistance) or did you go with weight as the deciding factor?

I went for weight. I think the weight differnce will make up for the differnce in rolling resistance, especially since I plan to run 45psi in the tires.
I got 05 HCH about 2 weeks ago, so I ordered my rims 1 week ago. I should have them this week, and as soon as I get them on the car I will snap a pic.
