Will 4 pound lighter rims make any acceleration difference?

Im swapping my rims out for different ones and theres a 4 pound difference between my current ones and the new ones Im getting. The new ones are lighter, so what kind of acceleration difference will there be? Will I feel it in the butt dyno or is it not that much?

I went from 26lb 18s to 15.8 lb 17 and notice a huge difference! 4 lbs, id say you should feel it a bit. it should definitely handle better!
