how much heavier are the new wheels from the stock ones? the 17's are probably alot heavier so you are experiencing more unsprung weight and reducing your acceleration along with another inch the wheel is rotating. i would look into the weight of the wheels and try to get some close to stock as possible in whatever size you want.
