I have them on my 200q20v along with Bilsteins.

I'd characterize them as a perfect sporty ride with 15-16in rims.  17s are
a little on the harsh side for new england roads(which are some of the
worst, particularly around Boston, where I am.)

If you live around reasonably well maintained roads, you'll be fine even
with 17s.

This combination does lower the car quite a bit, perhaps a tad more than I
would have liked.  The cats on the 200q20v are the lowest point on the
car, and with 15" rims, the cats scraped on the top of the driveway every
time(and speed bumps with a full load of people, gas, and some luggage.)
