Naw, seriously, wheels and tires have, IMO, two reasons guiding purchase. Either looks or speed. (of course, within either area, money is a concern)

The stock "S" wheels weigh in about 20 lbs. Some say otherwise but so far, the vote is about 20. Anything weighing less than that will help out with moving out "just a wee bit faster". Same goes for tires. From what I can tell the tire on the "S" weighs about 20 lbs. Anything less is less weight to put into motion. So, choose speed or looks (or a combo of both).

BTW, just kidding about the age and location. (But, you DID use a "ya'll in that one message... )
