Message	I wouldn't say it is enough to decide against a wheel that you liked. Case in point are my 18x9 Enkei GTVs. They're pretty heavy being 24-25lbs, but I love how they look and zero complaints after well over 100k miles on them. I strictly use my Z as a GT car though, and it has newer stock suspension. For a period of time I ran 18x8 SSR Integrals all the way around which are a very light wheel and the whole car absolutely felt lighter, no way to deny the difference in feeling. If you're doing regular autocross or track days, it would be a no brainer to go as light as possible. I'd love to try out a set of magnesium wheels some day just to see how they feel.
