So smaller rim might be less weight, but you have to pay attention to total diameter of tire regardless of rim size. It's not like back in the day where everything was 15'' rims and then you could go 50, 60, 70 series tire for height, and total diameter..
very good point. I am running 18's also (WAY lighter then stock anchors) and with 225/35's im almost the same as stock diameter. here is a cool page:

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

that lets you check out different sizes and ratios.
