its probably slower cuz you put big rims on it yea. plus what kind of 19's? some rims tend to be heavier than others. my car is noticeably heavier cuz of my rims. theres always a catch to looking good

blanks your not the only one, just recently upgraded to 19's if your in the right wheel diameter& weight, then u should feel shouldnt feel any slower as for gas milage it might affect it. If those settings are off then you are goin to feel a bit slower and ur gonna burn more gas.

Bigger rotational mass, more weight, spedo is a off, gas milage should be OK.

Indeed your car is slower, just one of the compromises of the bling, bling.
