Lighter wheels are always a plus though.
There are cheap and easy mods for your car that will give you much much better gains.
And you don't have to strip your car like a civic.
What I am saying is if you take simple modifications like reducing weight from your wheels, brakes, and suspension you would see tremendous improvements in all areas of performance.
Example: Reduce 40 lbs of rotational mass (1 lbs of rotational mass is roughly equal to 10 lbs of sprung weight on the chassis) and you are 400 lbs lighter in theory.
