Thanks for the weight info. Just wish I knew how much the stock 16's are. No one at Honda seems to know.

I went with the 17" HFP-R7 Factory Performance Alloy Wheel for my 2006 Civic EX because;

They match the Galaxy Gray on my car perfectly.
Pics with working links, please! I also have a Galaxy Gray and was curious how the HFP wheels would look.

Larger diameter even if they are just a little heavier takes more momentum to turn thus larger power loss. I Learned about it in my physics class, any informed beings care to elaborate
Any rotational weight added to the wheel WILL DECREASE performance. The further the weight is from the center(or axle) the more it HURTS. With most larger diameter wheels the tire has a shorter sidewall which actually weighs less(at least according to Tire Rack's weight) than a smaller diameter tire so that will help to offset some "would be" loss in performance.
