This is not Accord Euro specific. Moving to the Civic section.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I went from 16" OEM to 18" Gramlights, and the rims themselves weigh next to nothing. But the tyres I put on them feel like they weigh twice as much as the rims themselves (Conti Sport Cont 3), so the weight came out about the same. You can see the difference though, my 16's want to topple over due to the extra weight on one side of the rim (the side where the spokes are) as compared to my new ones where they stand perfectly straight.

Because the over all size of the tyre doesn't differ all that much, any kg you save over the wheels will count.

Compared to your 20's. no
Compared to OEM. It's still not light.
