Default Stock from, 17x9 back?

Hey guys, thinking about keeping the stock bullits in my sig on the front and putting these 17x9 on the back... http://www.americanmuscle.com/2005-a...x9-wheels.html

My reasoning is I dont mind spinning my tires but I've had a few times recently that things turned dangerous due to tire spin. I dont like it...

First concern: Will they match up enough to the stock fronts to not be too noticeable that they're different from the side?

Second: Is the 1-2 pound heavier rim going to affect performance badly? Or does the 255/50/17 nitto tire weigh less than the pirelli zero anyways?

Thanks ya'll.

I have the wheels you speak of...the center caps are completely different and you will have to modify your stock caps as I have done for it to look correctly...also the color is a little off as well, enough so that I am will be getting mine color matched at some point in time...
