Bigger the wheels, the higher the car is going to look; you may really want to consider a suspension setup for the car, a little drop with big wheels looks very nice, big wheels and no drop looks awkward.

The drop from the sport suspension is only 0.6 inches. I wonder how much of a difference that makes. Somebody should post before/after pictures for us to discern the disparities, conspicuous or not.

Not that I care, of course - from what I've heard, getting the sports package is a good deal - bigger wheels, steering wheel, and the sports seats themselves are supposedly worth the money. On top of that, the ride handles a lot better (and even safter if one is to extrapolate that advantage).
