Which is lighter, small rims/tall tires or big rims/thin tires?

Ya know.. same actual diameter of the 2 wheel/tire combos.

Just something that popped into my head... was just thinking about reading earlier on here that the rotational inertia of the wheels really effects our small cars so the lighter the tire/wheel combo the better. My guess is the large rim very thin tire? (probably makes for a really bumpy ride tho)

Just wondering, not really in the market for wheels/tires... heh
