Now this is my own opinion but you would get better performance from a set of 15x7" wheels with 205/50x15" than you heavy 17s. Plus you would have more sidewall and make for a more comfortable ride.

Other thing is 15" wheels are lighter, 15" tires are easier to find in Honda sizes, and you actually can get more mechanical grip from a softer tire.
