This is about a 14lb wheel, according to what I have read.

If you want 8lb wheels, expect to pay lots for them.
ScotMac - you have not yet presented a valid argument supporting the need for this change.
No wheels available - turns out not to be true.
No tires that fit - turns out not to be true (I run 205 and 225 wide tires on my 6" wheels)
No ultra light wheels available for real cheap - no kidding!
When (and I say when because I do expect we will get to this point) the availability of 6" wheels actually does dry up, I can agree that such a rule change should be considered. Any time before then, and it is not appropriate.
