How has your aftermarket wheels affected the Fit's handling?

I'm thinking about buying a set of 6UL 15x6 (+40 offset) wheels for the 2013 Base Fit.

I'm concerned about

1. torque steer
2. bump steer

other unwanted handling changes.

I have Enkei EV5 Bronze 17x7 and let me tell you that they are heavier than my stock steel wheels... and you can really feel a difference. Slower acceleration and longer braking. If it wasnt for looks, id be back to my steelies. Check wheel weight if you dont want those handling changes.

I have a '11 Sport AT that came with he OEM 16x6 and 185/55-16 tires. I changed to 16x7 and 205/50-16 and seems to handle the same but gas mileage suffered a little.

I now have General Tires Altimax R43 on and they seem like they are going to last forever. Car came with their standard Dunlop Sport 7000, which were done by 25K miles. I tried the Conti extreme contact DWS but those wore out in 25K miles too.
