Well you never use them to save weight, obviously. You use them to save money. Money that would have to be spent on a custom wheel in some cases. But if the weight is negligible (TBD by user), then you can save the money, get your offset and not sacrifice too much in unsprung. To me, if your lightweight choice is 12mm off, that is significant (provided you didn't just add a ton of drag). It would outweigh (pun intended) adding 6oz of center mass to the corner IMHO. YMMV.
