I think its about 8kg for a 17" No need to go for 18" unless you've done something to your brakes.
A lighter wheel will accelerate and stop much faster than a heavier one. Also, the suspension can react better because there's less weight bouncing around on the end of your suspension arms (have you heard the term "unsprung weight"?)
