Your weight is the determining factor in wheel weight. If you are a 190 or higher you should have a 36 hole slightly heavier rimed wheel.
The tire size is determined by the bike. Many of the so called racing bikes can't clear anything over 25mm wide.
Tire rolling resistance is determined by tire flexibility and proper pressure.
