Road noise?
I've just recently switched from OEMs to 19"
I've noticed much increased road noise but was told it's entirely normal.
The steering wheel seemed a little lighter too and it vibrates a little more compared to before.
However I'm wondering could this be from improper wheel alignment, offset, or tire balancing? Should get my car aligned again and the tires rebalanced?

Question number one: What 19" tires did you change to?
Fact number one: new performance tires take a 1000 miles or so to 'break-in' -- and any noise or feel issues could be due to the fact that they haven't broken-in yet.
