Weight isn't the only factor, just make sure you keep the overall diameter as close to stock as possible.
Remember geometry in high school?
I had a whole crapload of formulas and tools that help calculte the dimensions easy, but it's all on my home computer. I'll post when I get off work.

thos will answer all you questions.
one more thing your tires will compress under the weight of you car. so the acutaly OD of the stock wheel is slightly less on your car than off.
