The difference between 18 and 19" wheels in weight is significant not to mention the width's are different as well.... not quite comparing apples to apples there....

Weight further out from the center has a greater affect on performance and sticky rubber tends to get pretty heavy as the diameter goes up...

With a smaller wheel you run the issue you need a larger side wall thus adding to the weight of your overall wheel/tire setup. Now if this is a pure track setup with no street function then that idea can be thrown out.

Good point. I guess I meant if you want to go with an overall slightly smaller diameter. That would still work fine on the street, just the speedo would be a wee bit off...
