Default IS250 and larger alloys

Just a quick question really, I currently have stock 17" wheels and looking to upgrade to 19" alloys. The only thing really putting me off is I feel I may end up with a massive loss in performance? Is this correct or am I just being paranoid?

If you were worried about performance you would have gotten a 350.

I'm not fortunate enough to even consider it, I live in the UK and we only do the 250 or the ISF
