18-19?? 
that's a lot more than I expected. That means that if i get some 17" motegi's which weigh 25 lbs each, i would only be adding about 30 lbs. on my car, which isn't bad at all

Well actually, yes, but effectively, it'll act more like 72 lbs more than stock. Unsprung weight has more effect than sprung weight. Not to mention the added inertia with 17" rims... The weight is concentrated further from the hub, so it'll take more power to turn it.
