Default Opinions on Wheels for our RC350's and Weight for Stock 19" F-Sport Wheels

New to Lexus and the Forum. Came across this picture and thought id get some opinions. I have the 19" Stock F Sport wheels and want to take them off and get the Niche Targa 20" 9 wide in front and 10.5 Rear like the picture. Anyone know the weight of the Stock 19" F sport on the RC350? And will it cause noticeable loss in power going up to these wheel? Thanks everyone.

All this makes me want to do is drop my car immediately haha.

I'm throwing Vossen CV5 in Graphite on my OB F Sport Saturday. I'll throw up pictures after, although I don't anticipate it will look great until its dropped.

So Niche website says the Targas weight is 40lbs each. Same weight for the front and back. Thats without tire. So i guess ill have to pull off the stock and weigh those. If anyone knows the weight of the stocks before then, post it up.

Any suggestions? Tires: 245/35/20 front and 285/30/20 rear? Wheels: 20x8.5 & 20x10.5. Would the tires rub with these sizes? Already lowered with Tanabe springs.

Shouldn't rub. Might even want to add spacers
