At least specify a size, because you could start bending the definition of "car" and come up with smaller and smaller wheels. It's weight for a given size (and further, for a given maximum load) that's impressive.

Maybe if they're made of Styrofoam. The lightest 17x7 5/114.3 rims I could find were 5.5 kg (12.2 lbs).
