Also consider your tyre choice, as some tyres are much heavier than others...

If I get Wheels 3.5 kg or so with light tyres does it make a good difference?

you wont be able to get much lighter then the stock 13's with skinny tires, so no I dont think you will notice the difference.

Also the distance of the weight from the hub makes a big difference, so a wheel/tyre combination with the same overall weight will be harder to turn if made up of light wheel and heavy tyre, rather than the other way around. Personally I think the grip benefits of a wider, and consequently heaver tyre outweigh the performace losses.
