Default 17" vs 18" wheel weight

Anyone knows the weight difference between the 17" and 18" non chrome speedline wheels? I want to do a square set up by moving the 285s up front and getting another set of 18s and putting Nittos 305s in the back. I use the car for cruising and mostly spirit driving/highway pulls/drag racing.
I dont want to gain too much weight or rotational mass, you guys think this is a good set up? If not ill just keep the 17" with 255 up front and just add 305s in the back.
Currently i have 255s/285s Ventus RS3 which are great tires but i want to go wider in the back.
