Socom, there's a WORLD of difference between 'em looks-wise. The 16s look eh... the 17s are freakin nice. As you can see in the pics below, the 16s are just plain old 5 spokes, ending flush w/ the rim edge (no lip). The 17s' spokes are simply nicer looking (and a better, metallic, almost gunmetallish color), and the spokes are curved, bend inward, leaving a fairly decent lip on the rims

I have another set of 17s coming in soon, this set w/o tires, so I'll weigh 'em for ya if you'd like. I'm sure they're in between 16 and 18 lbs though.

The 16 inch wheels:




The 17 inch wheels:
