car looks nice and clean. only thing i would suggest is some bigger wheels and smaller profile tires. maybe some 16s with a 50 series tire would look nice and clean. a drop would look nice too. 
edit: i just saw you want some 17s. i had some no name 17s before and they slowed the acceleration quite a bit in the 1/4 mile. now i have some lightweight 17" rota subzero's and better performance tires and the acceleration is a little better than stock since my current wheel/tire combo is lighter than the stock one.

quarter mile time doesn't bother me cause i dont drag but when i pull out into traffic i like the way it takes off and i dont wanna loose that.

Rep Power: 285 Most 17's you probably won't be able to tell the difference. You might gain a little b/c the wider tires won't spin as much and you'll probably have softer rubber. If you get a lower profile tire you'll be able to feel every bump in the road though. I took mine off and put the factory wheels back on and it made it a lot softer
