I'm considering getting HRE's to replace the stock 18" Carrera Lightweight Wheel. I was going to stay with an 18" wheel, but it seems like everybody gets 19's since they just look that much better.

My main concern is how much unsprung weight am I about to add? Will I notice?

The wheels will be 19x11 (I would do 19x12 if it fits) and 19x8.5 front. Probably shod with the correct pairing based off a 315 rear.

If I go with an 18x11 and 18x8.5 does anyone know how significant the weight difference will be from stock?

Don't forget to factor in the heavier 19" rubber , too.
