Default Wheel Weight?

I'm looking to get some 18" Saleen wheels. Right now I have the stock Bullits. What is the weight difference between these wheels, and how will the wheel change affect my cars performance?

They're heavier then stock...by a good 10-20 pounds i would have to say...and depending on how wide u go front and back you might notice a little something with the way the car handles but...as for as like ur straight line...good luck noticing a thing lol

I'm probably going to go with 18x9's up front and either 18x10's or 18x10.5's out back. What I was wondering is how much will this hurt my acceleration since their is more rotational mass?

I didn't think I would. Plus, I'll get more grip at the track that will more than make up for the weight.
