I would say Aluminum is lighter than rubber, however tires are hollow rubber, the difference in weight would be probably the exact same, and either way the difference would be so little that it would have no impact on the overall weight of the cart?

Agreed. Get the combo that looks better, because any weight difference will likely be slight and irrelevant.
