Which wheels are better for acceleration?

Ok, here is another question. I know some advantages about putting bigger tires, which requires bigger rims. But this adds weight to the car. In drag, what is a smarter choice? Should I put the 17 inch stock wheels or heavier 19inch after market wheels?
When I weighed the 19 inch HRE 847R F 8.5 235/35/19, it was around 49.5 pounds. I think the stock 17 inch with Rosso is lighter.
Give me some tips.

The lighter and smaller wheels will be better for acceleration.

Best performance at the drag strip?

Go with smaller, lighter wheels and drag slicks
