Cool I'm still deciding on rims/tires and I like the 15's and 16's on the GE8 but there are so many nice 17" wheels like yours.
Did you notice much of a difference as far as weight hurting acceleration with the 17's?

My last set of wheels were 24 lbs 
so yeah, that was noticeable. These new ones are only 20 lbs, so I'd expect to see a little better acceleration. Haven't really got on it yet to gauge the difference, though.

Wheel Size: 17"
Offset: +45mm
Tire Size: 205/40/R17 (Toyo Proxes)
Suspension: 1.4" Front Drop, 1.2" Rear Drop
When I Rub: Never, not even with 4 people and luggage. =)
I will confess that I added a Rear Spacer @ 1/4" and I had to slightly roll the rear fenders. Still never rub after the roll.
