[Supras] 18" or 19"

I hadn't considered rotation.  However, I think it really boils down to 
specific rim/tire combos being compared.  I had factory saucers in 
mind..... being compared to a high quality (light/strong) 18" or 19" 
rim.  I haven't handled saucers lately, but aren't they quite heavy? 
Furthermore, I would have thought tire to be heavier than aluminum rim, 
but maybe I've been around trucks too long now.... much heavier tire 
construction!
