Aftermarket rims vs stock

Hi, I'm interested in getting new rims for my 330. I currently have 17" rims and would like to get 18" rims.

BASED on PERFORMANCE ONLY: which is better in terms of acceleration, braking, handling, and ride comfort?

17" vs 18"

Does spacers have an effect on performance?

Does the stock 18" rims have spacers on the 330?

Does anyone know the weight of the stock BMW rims?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

pretty dumb question. It is like saying based on performance only what is better Ford or GM? It depends on the weight of the rims and their moment of inertia primarily which will differ widely from the different options that are available
