Lightbulb I like smaller wheels, maybe?

Hey;
The other day I put my little 14" rims that came with the car back on for the winter. I'm getting some new basic cheap ass winter tires for those. Now, I know that bigger rims cause you to lose some power, but with the smaller ones on, it feels like there's a HUGE amount of power that is being unleashed. My Enkeis are 17s with low profiles, and with those on there's nowhere as much power as the 14s. Also when shifting, it goes into gear MUCH much easier with the little ones on. It pops into gear each and everytime perfectly and the pull is just more bad ass now.

Sure the little ones are ugly as hell, but I'm thinking I may keep those on even after the winter. I may sell the Enkeis, and get like a 16" rim (black with lip), and some great tires for that then. What do you think? Should I do that?
