1 pound difference? Nah. You'd probably not even be able to identify it statistically, it's just not going to make that much difference.
The difference between 14 and 15" wheels that have the same weight, the same width tire, and the same overall diameter isn't going to be enough to worry about, though. The 15" tire may be a touch heavier, it all depends on what size and what model of tire you choose. The difference can be a pound... or it can be 3 pounds, just depends on the tire.
Would I notice a 3lb difference is an interesting question to me. My friend wants to put his HX wheels on my CRX once we find some spacers as I have an Si model and the wheels won't clear my brake calipers. I guess the road test will tell all.
The Model of tire has been difficult to choose. I need something for the street that is good to go on the drag strip as well. I am looking at the Falken Azeni 65-K. I wonder what the weight difference is from the 14" to the 15"?

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
