Weight Issue with rims

I was talking to an Auto Mechanic who I know well. He mentioned dropping a civic onto 17 inch rims puts a lot of strain on to the Motor. I believe him, but a lot of people still do it and I was wondering, if I put really light weight rims and stuff like that, would it help. Also bigger rim somehow = more mileage on teh car, is there anyway to tell the ECU the size of the wheel so it doesnt put more miles on the car????

Just got into the Idea of a civic so I am posting up all these Ideas as they come to me, thanx for the responses/help
