i was very interested in these wheels i found on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7914932215&category=66483 but i am not sure if they will fit the car, and if they do fit, will it be the same comfortable ride as the stock wheels and tires i have now??

I'm almost positive I've seen a dude on Tuners with those rims...do a search on DSMtuner.com. The ride should be basically the same, maybe a little more bumpy because you'll probably have smaller and/or less air in the tires on 17" rims.

damn be prepared for a very bumpy ride.
