RC S-sport with 18 in 5 spoke wheel

Has anyone here gotten this package but chose the 18" 5 spoke wheel instead of Charlotte's web wheel?

We're considering of getting this but not the stock wheel.

Assuming overall tire diameter is the same as the 19" tires, the 18" wheel/tire combo will be a touch quicker in acceleration if the mass combo is less than the 19" combo, which chances are it is. But to notice anything significant, the savings would have to be a few pounds per combo.
