"Must" is a little strong. Offsets around 40mm are fine, and as low as 
30mm is OK. Lighter wheels work better than heavier ones, but 12 pounds 
seems to be a sweet spot in the balance between light weight and cost.

FWIW, the steel wheels of a base model Miata weigh 18 pounds. Many 
people use these in winter with snow tires.
