Removing weight helps acceleration as it takes less energy to move the mass but beware of diameter too. If you go with a 17 wheel even if its lighter than the stock steel wheel (not many wheels like that) you have moved the mass 3inches further out from the hub (based on 14 wheels) so it will take more enery to turn the wheel. I have 205 50 15 tires on light weight 11lb wheels , the stock steel wheel and tire are still lighter.
