Some of the sets I've been looking at that are aesthetically pleasing are around 26lbs. Will I be gaining THAT much from going with a set of RPF-1's or something similar instead?

The difference is negligible in feel and performance, and since you're not tracking the car, just get a good quality rim that looks good to you. Don't skimp on the tires either, they could affect performance more than the rims.
