I say go for the lightweight wheels. Your car is already a very capable corner carver but if you are able to shed a few pounds from each corner you'll be amazed at how much more responsive and better riding it will become. I have worked on vehicles where I evaluated a rim/tire combination that was 10% lighter than typical and also where I was forced to increase rim/tire weight 5-10% (both situations without affecting sprung weight). The differences in ride and handling are incredible.
The mooncaps are supposed to work because they are smooth to the airflow. Be careful and pay attention to the lightweight rims as they my not be capable of accepting the moon discs on either variety (push on or screw-in). You may have to develop a smooth wheel cover if you wish to maximize drag reduction
