Default Getting MY04 Wheels for my '02

I've wanted new wheels for my '02 for a while now and I think I'll be getting them in the form of the new '04 wheels.

I was hoping to start a discussion about this that would be guesstimations of how it feel.

Here's what I am guessing:

Pros:
1) Wider tires
2) Bigger diameter
3) Great looks
4) Very good price
5) Perfect offsets?

Cons:
1) Likely to be a lot heavier than stock
2) Harsher ride?
3) Heavier steering feel?

Any thoughts?

17s work nicely on the S. I really like my aftermarkets with wider S-03 tires.

It's all a matter of taste, Ajjra. I like the '04 wheels, BTW, but I prefer a more understated look (personally).

I have 18 in wheels and they are undoubtedly heavier wheels.

I have SSR GT1, 17inch. If I had it to do all over again, Volk CE28 or GT-U. I wonder if the 17inch tires from the factory can be used with my rims...hmmmmm. Are they SO3s?
