I think any time you're dealing with really limited power, lighter wheels/tires are going to make a bigger difference. Not just in acceleration & braking, but in bump/dip handling as well. If the weenie shocks aren't up to controlling the relatively heavy OEM wheels, it'll get worse with heavier parts. I noticed this when I tested 225/50's on my lighter Saturn wheels. That combo weighed 3# more than my OEM wheels/tires, and you could really feel the difference over even small bumps.
Running lighter wheels/tires is also like adding free HP the same way changing to a lighter flywheel does, only without the sacrifice in drivability. It's a win-win.
