Default 17 wheels on CRX with no power steering?

Anyone have 17" wheels on their REX, but don't have power steering? Just wondering if it's bitch to turn from a stand-still or if on any other occasions it just isn't worth it. Got some nice light-weight 15"s right now, but kinda want some 17"s since I only have a 1.5 drop and this will be mostly used as a daily driver with the 15"s serving track duty on the occasional weekend.
I could pull the 17"s off my other ride just to test the feel, but figured advice is just as good.

I"m pretty sure no usdm crx's came with power steering but to answer your question, I didn't really notice a difference at all between my 17's and my stock 14's.

I used to have 17" Motegi Mr7 on my 88 Si, was lowerred 2.0" and tucking a bit of rubber

Turning at under 10mph was a chore

Now Ive got Slipstreams wrapped in azenis with the same drop, isnt any easier

No power steering is great, lose some weight while parking but cant feel a thing over 10mph

Why get 17"s though? Just slam that ******
