I would think the 19" tires would weigh less also given the fact that the widths are the same, the tire heights are the same, but the profiles are lower. That would mean less rubber total and a lighter assembly with the rims.

Sorry, just expressing my thoughts.

The 19's are made by rays engineering; the same company that makes volks, gram lights, etc. So yes, they are lightweight 19s. From what ive heard, they are lighter than the stock 18s.
