Nice wheels but to small. Sell em and use the cash to buy new ones.

How much do they weigh? If they are light, put some DR's on the back and hit the drag strip. These can be your GO wheels, everthing bigger are mostly just SHOW wheels.

I had stock 17", they were kinda small but was alright.

The thing is, this is aftermarket, it has a lip, which will make it look smaller than stock 17".

I'd use them a as a winter setup

If they were 18's it would be a bit more fitting for the 2IS but 17's look way too small.
