If the old set doesn't have the Width and offset by the valve stem I believe that means the wheel is a replica, which can be good (as there are several reputable replica makers, Mille Miglia, and some of the Italian ones) or bad (as there is a lot of junk out there too). Also I didn't think that style came in a 17.
If the new 18" wheels are lighter, the new tires may be lighter too (less rubber because of a shorter sidewall? each brand is different) you may very well lose some unsprung weight...
