Lightweight wheel setup for AutoX

I'm considering a new set of wheels for next year's autocross season. This season I used a set of OEM 7.5/9 18" turbo twists with 225/265 re71Rs. And I generally could pax in the top 5 or so out of 70-90 racers. The GGR PCA group does a points based classification so I can go to 8" fronts with 9" rears without changing classes. OZ Alleggeritas are probable about 5-8# lighter per wheel. I'd probably use the same tire setup because I prefer a bit of understeer (I know it may seem blasphemous, but I don't do well with a loose backend).

I know on paper the lighter wheels should help, can anyone weigh-in on their personal experience? And did you think it was worth it?

Thanks
