Question Sound Good?

I'm getting some new wheels for my Prelude. I found a set of Enkei RPM2s 17x8. Don't freak out because you think they'll be too heavy. They weigh 17.6 lbs, which is lighter than my stock 16x6.5 @ 19.1. I'm wrapping them in Yoko avs es100s 215/40/17.

Y'all think this is a good setup?

Even though they seem lighter the wheel is 1" bigger in diameter which pushes the weight further out from the center of the wheel. It may just cancel each other out though.

For example if you had a 14x7" wheel that weighed 20lbs and a 18x7" wheel that weighed 15lbs the 14x7" wheel would be easier to turn since the mass is closer to the center of the wheel.
