Yeah I just took off my old ICW's (which weighed quite a bit) and I bought some Rota Subzeros (Very Very Light). I noticed a huge difference in Excelleration with my car. I'd highly recommend buying a set of Rotas.

it's not all mass, also weight wich is more of the issue with bigger wheels. plus when you say they are wider your wrong. any honda i've seen normally runs a 205/50/15 wich is nice and light and wide
it's not often to see 195 and thats normally on like hx wheels.

Wheels are rotating mass/unsprung weight. Every 1 lb reduction in rotating mass is equivalent to an approximately 8 lb reduction in static weight. With lighter weight wheels, you will benefit from increased fuel savings, quicker braking, improved tire wear and better acceleration.
Of course that is from a wheel manufacturers website.
