Does anyone like these? Sounds like they may not be a performance enhancement relative to the stock S package 16" V spokes. What if you replace the run flats on the S lites w/ regular tires -- would anyone then choose these over the 16"s?

It depends if you are into Show or Go. 17's look more dramatic,16's perform better.
