Default rim upgrade q's

ok i am riding on some 15in rims right now with like soem 55's on em. i got a pair of 17 in's sitting in my garage w/ 40s but i am scared of putin gthem on. the main reason is weight. would i notice a difference in speeds/accel if i throw these on? how bad will it throw off my speedo? anyone riding on 17's? i just want to know if they are going to own my little car...btw its a b16 so i dunno if that will help

The likelyhood is that they weigh a ton more, among other factors....they will make you feel VERY slow. Every CRX I've been in w/ 17s felt that way, except one that was a 13.0 second rex - eh, well, when it had it's 15s on *laughs*
