This could easily begin to venture off-topic, but it should be noted that ANY rotating piece of a car can, in changing mass, have a positive AND/OR negative effect. If a wheel/tire combination is lighter, then it will benefit as unsprung weight (good for the suspension) but if the wheel/tire has a higher moment of inertia, then it could very likely slow the acceleration of the vehicle, as it consumes more energy to spin it up to speed.

Before you begin throwing money at your concern, you should gather an idea of what might be the best solution(s) to the problem. In the long run, a CF driveshaft would be less of a kinetic energy pig than a conventional shaft, but it's a long way out on things that will be beneficial to your car's performance, as it's tremendously unlikely that you'll notice its presence (beyond your wallet).
