I like these wheels a lot and am watching. I am new here and have an '01 with 16" wheels. I understand that this is primarily cosmetic, but is the handling / unsprung weight pretty much unchanged?

Do you know roughly what the Bridgestones cost for this size wheel?

The handling is better imo with 17's. Tyres are around 450 for the full set, slightly more than the 16's.

Agreed. I've just upgraded and handling is definitely better in the dry. Not sure about the wet but I bought them to improve wet handling also as I was told it would help

Need to save up some more cash!
