Having not tracked my Fit yet, I can't speak to it effect of lowered un-sprung weight. In previous cars I've owned, lowered un-sprung weight didn’t seem to make a big difference. With a low powered car such as ours, lighter wheels and tires will improve driving characteristics to a certain extent for street driving.
The track is a different story. When you are trying to take a car to it's limit, lowering weight can make dramatic differences. Seeing as you don’t plan on tracking your car, I doubt you'll notice much, except for being slower if you pop on some big shoes.
I am sure someone here can better speak to the greater impact of lowered un-sprung weight versus just lowered weight. I remember reading the impact of lowered un-sprung weight was 2 or 3 to 1 versus overall weight loss (carbon hood).
