Should I get the 2002 SE rims or aftermarket 17" rims?

i like the way the 2002 SE rims look and i can get a used set cheaper than aftermarket rims, but what else should i consider? are the 2k2 SE rims significantly heavier than aftermarket rims? i can afford aftermarket rims if they would make my car faster. i have a 2000 GXE with the 16" alloy rims now.

Faster?

Doubt it...

but in any case, do not get the factory rims. They are a 7" wide rim and that automatically drastically limits the selection of tires that will fit on it. Get a good set of 17"x7.5" rims and your choices are much wider for rubber.
