No offense, but you really need punctuation in your post. Had to read it a couple times before I understood what you were saying.

Anyways, why are you going with 225's all around? Are these winter tires only?

If you're buying wheels for asthetics, go with 17s man. Aftermarket 16s will look dumpy.

weight savings, acceleration (225/45r16) and just to be different, 225 all around cuz the wheels are not staggerd

How much do these wheels weigh? and how do they compare to your current setup?

I wouldn't sacrifice the overall feel/handling of the car just to gain acceleration. The overall tradeoff isn't to your benefit.

Check out Enkei's lineup. You can get 17x7.5-9.5 for under 17lbs, and run a decently sized tire. There are many vendors on this forum selling lightweight 17" wheels (if you are worried about 17s weighing too much).
