Yes, but you can go smaller on the wheel, and upsize the tire's sidewall to maintain the diameter. Just like my Fit is offered with 15" wheels or the top trim has 16's.
An example from my Fit. The lightest wheels at Tirerack are the Enkei RPF1's. 15" (base model size) weighs 9.5 lb. 16" is 13.7 lb.
Yokohama Avid Ascend tires in those sizes (both 185 width, 60 vs 55 sidewall) are both 19 lb.
Combined weight: 15" = 28.5 lb, 16" = 32.7 lb.
