I noticed a significant difference going from stock 16s to 17x9.5x11.5 ZR1 replicas. Feels sluggish from a dead stop trying to overcome the added inertia force, and same from a roll. Braking was only slightly worse. If I were to do it all again I would have gone with some factory vette rims.

I never actually weighed the rims, but the rear 17x11.5 w/315s have to be close to 50lbs each, and the front 17x9.5 w/275s feel like 35ish.
