Default RH J8-19s would it slow me down?

I asked the guy at e-wheelz for the weight on the RH J8 and he didn't know but he said they were lighter than stock! anyone know the exact weight? also I put buddy clubs on my previous car and it slowed it down a tad bit, do you guys think the rh j8 would slow me down? i drive an 06 base Z and planning to get rid of stock wheels to get enought money to buy the RH J8s. any input would be appreciated, thanks.

depends...19's will change your final overall gear ratio, plus, 19" tires will most likley weigh more than your OE tires; further, with wheels, it's not just about weight, but where the weight is. The farther you put wieght from the rotational axis (center of wheel), the greater amount of energy it'll take to rotate them.
