Stock 5 spoke aluminum vs stock police steel rims

Right now my truck currently has the stock Chevy Tahoe ppv (police) rims installed with 285/70/17 tires. I still have my stock aluminum/alloy 5 spoke 17 inch rims. I weighed both rims and did my best to figure the tire weight from the stock tire size vs the 285's I have. Rough estimate says I would save about 11 pounds per wheel if I were to swap from the steel ppv rims to the alloy rims while still using the 285's.

 

My question is would it be worth it to swap from the steel to the alloy rims? Would a combined 44 pounds help the truck out any? I just feel like the truck is heavy now since I put a 4 inch lift, steel rims and the 285 nittos on.
