Yes, lots.Are there any wheels that wold be a good replacement for the standard ones, to loose a little weight?
Thinking of upgrading a few parts over the next year
The OP doesn't share what "the standard ones" are, but the wheels need to be the same diameter and have the same OLN (hub width). There will something like 622-15 on the rims (the '15' is the inner width of the rim). The OP doesn't say whether they've got lots of frame clearance or not: if they have then 17 gives more flexibility on tyres.
What is the frame? Why is the OP aiming "to loose(sic) a little weight"? How many grams have they lost from their body mass since Christmas? Saving weight on wheels should not be a significant factor when choosing new(er) wheels. Better hubs, decent double butted spokes (in sufficient number) and brass nipples are much more important. Colour coordination between the rims and the spokes is a factor only to be sniffed at through one nostril.
The OP would likely get the best bang for their 'upgrade' buck by fitting better tyres: though we don't know what they have fitted now. Oh, and good brake blocks.
