Does wheel weight make a difference?

I figured I'd ask the more rev happy ppl in this forum to see if they have any insight on wheel weights and how they affect our cars.

I understand that the current Fit Sport rims weigh 15.8lbs roughly.. now I have been contemplating getting 17" wheels that weigh 18lbs. I know that isn't much of a difference, but the wheels I am also considering are a set of 15" 10.6lb wheels.

So the difference in weight between the 2 different wheels that I am considering is 7.4lbs.

Now this could be a pretty big number when it comes to how my Fit will perform seeing as we are just rated above 100hp...

Can someone fill me in with their knowledge? what are the advantages and disadvantages?

I'm not going to track my car, but I do like to drive aggressively and don't want to make my Fit any slower than it already is.
