My assumptions: (-)
the ride will be a bit more jarring
the tires will be a bit more expensive
the likelihood of curb/pothole damage to the wheel increases
tend to be heavier: increases rotational mass, descreases efficiency (+)
less sidewall flex, which may contribute to more stable turns
bling-factor
aesthetic factor (debatable) You basically may sacrifice slight acceleration in exchange for slight improvement in turns, but the condition/quality of your suspension setup as a whole (which does include wheel/tire width, diameter, weight, quality) will have a greater effect on improving turning stability. The more noticable effect will be on your wallet.
