Acceleration: There's no big difference. It feels about the same, even though I believe this wheel/tire combo is lighter than my EX wheels/tires.
Handling: It's MUCH improved. Let's just say I've tested the handling and it's superior with these wheels/tires.
Ride Quality: It's about the same. It's slightly stiffer due to the size of the tire. I've also noticed that they create just a little more road noise, but nothing to worry about.
Fuel Economy: I "tested" the tires quite a bit on my last tank. I'll have more info on fuel economy in about 350-400 miles.

And yes, I like the Si wheels/tires. The look is great and the quality is top notch. I just wish it would quit being spring already. My car is filthy!
