Ive driven it around quite a bit now and it feels just as good if not better than with the original wheels. At the very worst, i havent noticed a difference. Besides maybe a bit more noise. If i notice anything major ill post it.

The black wheels look really good with the black paint.

To me, there's "too much space" in the wheel wells. Your car's color helps mask that space a bit, but I think it would be more pronounced on lighter-colored vehicles.
What's the difference, diameter-wise, between the IS wheels and the ES wheels?

jbm... you are right about that. I bought the wheels with the sport tires already on them and there is a bit more room in the well than i want there to be but im not going to throw away a good tire. When these eventually wear out i will replace them with something that better "fits." Nice observation.
Yes, i will post a side view as soon as it stops raining. LOL

I believe that using the 17 inch wheels with tires that I assume have an aspect ratio of 45 will throw off your speedometer and odometer by about 6% because of the smaller circumference of that wheel and tire combination.
It should also reduce your fuel economy by about the same 6%, but, because the odometer will be off by 6%, any calculations that you (or the car's computer) make for mpg will not be accurate, either.

Wheels/tires look too small for the car.
