Ok here are the stats on the new wheels and tires.
Front wheels 19x8.5" w/34 offset. Tires: 245/35ZR19.
Rear wheels 19x9.5" w/40 offset. Tires: 275/30ZR19
Couldn't get the weight of them sorry. I've driven them about 250 miles so far and have not heard them rub at all. I will say I lost a little of the smooth ride with the combo of the new springs and lower profile tires but its the price of looking good.

22-23lbs for stock -- approximately -- you will see diff numbers floating around. It is really hard to beat the weight of stock wheels with 18 in., I have looked at tons.

Oh, OK...dang...I thought it would be a great idea to cut weight off the rims and flywheel for some performance imporvement but if it's too expensive or hard to find...then I'm out of luck.
Thanks for the info!

Anyway, I'm not usually a fan of chrome, but those really work with your car. And kudos for keeping the factory appearance package. All you need now are the front splashguards.
