And what was it? I did not see it!you already know my opinion on 17's and trust me the majority of the users on here share my opinion...
I think the OEM 17" EP3 wheels are heavy too! I have 17" PS-X which are very heavy as well and I agree with what you say mate + some minor shifting problems like shifting hesitation and noise, nothing serious though. But don't have only wheel diameter in mind. For example, the 17" Rays TE37 or CE28N are around 1 kg lighter than the 15" OEM EK9 wheels and they provide better handling at high speed(my friend has tried this out). However, because of the small tire sidewall you have to use, you must have the exact air pressure otherwise your handling will suck badly! The problem with small sidewalls is that the car does not bounce and the driving is a "hard" experienceI would stay away from 17's mate!
i had my mate's 17" ep3 wheels on mine while i refurbed my oem wheels and i did not like them one bit, mess's with the handling in a very bad way
i would try and stay with the oem rollin diameter!

I agree!! If I would go for look then 16" are great. I also think 17" seem a bit big for the Civic hatch don't they? Huge difference in performance as well. Before I buy my 17" rims (10 kg+ each ), I had 15" Rays TE37s(4.5 kg). Difference?? Day/night!! It was an excellent deal which I could not resist though16" max bud. wouldnt go 17" just my opinion tho
