So I dropped 3 lbs on the wheel even though I went to an 18x8.5. As it turns out the 225 V12s are exactly the same amount heavier than the stock Primacies as the wheels are lighter, so it balanced out.
My point is that if you are going to be running wide tires, you are almost guaranteed to be heavier than stock unless you go super light on the wheels ($$$).
Since you mentioned that this is primarily for looks, I'd suggest that you don't need the premium for ultra-light wheels.

It is for looks primarily but I do not want to decrease my performance by running a stupid heavy wheel and tire.
