The weight of stock rims...

Hi, I did a search, but couldn't find the weight of the stock rims... I'm planning to replace them with new ones, but they are about 26 lbs fronts and 28 lbs rears. Will this affect my performance? They are 18 x 9 and 18 x 9.5. I'm planning of putting 255s in front and 285s in the back.

Thanks!

26 and 28 on 18s is HEAVY. It depends on why you want them. The OEMs are closer to 29, so you save a hair. If you are staying 18, then why not get light ones? HRE Competitions FTW @ 19lbs!!
