Ok...IMO 17" wheels are not rice they just aren't the best for performance on a honda/acura because of their weight and size. However, they look great with a nice drop.
I have had 15s, 16s and 17s...
The only thing the 17s were good for was super sharp cornering since the sidewall on the tire was very small.
They were horrible for everything else - acceleration, trying to launch, hitting potholes, etc.
Then i bought some 11.6 pound 16s. I noticed a little more sidewall flex, but better overall handling because of their light weight and responsiveness to the road. Acceleration improved tremendously.
A lot of people have 17s because they "look good"......A performance wheel for a Honda should be a lightweight 15" or 16".
