Default Z06 c6 rims, Worth it???

is it worth buy a set of Z06 C6 rims with 4 spacers for my car? i keep thinking that it will slow my performance down due to having to turn such a big wheel, they are 19s but i do not know the exact measurements. so what i am asking would it be a waste of money to buy them if i want to keep my horsepower or does it even affect the performance? yes i know dumb question and i am in a hurry so it may be confusing. if you would help i would appreciate it. Thanks

I would not want to run any spacers let alone 4, but if they are oem wheels not replicas you won't notice the weight.

Here is a test, keep in mind this was done on a base golf, not a torquey ls1.

This is also a good link

Just throwing this out there, you can get the C6 Z06 wheels from oewheels in 17, 18, or 19, with the correct offset to fit your car w/o needing spacers.
