I think wheel weights go up exponentially. 17" will be alot heavier than 16" is to 15s. Already, I do feel that acceleration has been blunted somewhat. If u go carry a 17" tyre, u'll be shock how heavy it is.

Anyhow, I like abit more sidewalls. If u havent noticed, be it nascar, F1, DTM, JTCC, WRC, true performance oriented vehicles dont have rubber band tyres. A bit of sidewalls shout performance over aesthetics.

Today I had a full load of males in my car , and it rode very smoothly. No rubbing. Yay!

Not quite exponentially, but more metal will be heavier, though :)

My 20's + tires are 52lbs each... and I can definitely feel it slower to start and stop... although I can't imagine anyone on here getting a HEAVIER set, I wouldn't be scared to add 10lbs or so on top of the stockers. That being said, driving like a normal person, it really doesn't make much difference in MPG or driveability.
