Default s2kers with running heavy(21.5 lbs) wheels

i am debating whether to get these inexpensive wheels to save money, but the con of it is that they are 21.5s in the rear and 19 up front. I am afraid these heavy wheels would take the "fun" out of driving this car(fun as in: fast through corners, brisk acceleration, etc...). is this true? right now i am running oem ap1s, but i am debating on biting the bullet and purchasing the ultra light koseis. thanks in advance.

First off those are not heavy. For the street you are not going to even notice it. The factory 17" wheels are 17.5 and 20.5 lbs.

Also on LMs in 18 here, and anything I have sacrificed in performance is worth it for the look. The car feels planted and solid, but still tossable and fun.
