I was thinking of getting 17`s but i heard that my acceleration will be slowed down is this true?

they affect it a VERY small amount. I read an article in super street where they put on larger wheels and lost .1-.2 in the quarter mile depending on the weight of the wheels. Ive noticed some loss of braking power with larger rims and switched to slotted rotors.

yeah, it's not so much size as it is weight.

17's with 40 series will be the same size as the 14's with 65 series, but i guess u could say weight may make some difference if any, but IMO and from what i hear u won't see a difference.However with 18's u will feel a bit of loss.
