So I went from 16" aftermarket wheels to 17" tc wheels. I will admit, they look awesome... but the ride quality sucks! I feel way more body roll, the vibrations through the steering has exponentially worsened, the back end will kick out which I couldn't do if I tried before, the car feels much much slower while accelerating, and I even think I dropped mpg! Anybody else experience this while transitioning? Any resolutions?

definately get those tires balanced. It really shouldn't be too expensive. maybe $10 or $15 at the most! I work at America's tire co. and I know it makes a big difference. if not anything else, it'll prolong the life of your tires, as would having them rotated and rebalanced every 6,000 miles or so. (I'd just do it every oil change)
