if your talking about the same diameter then your sticks are the same length... the only difference would be that one stick would be a little heavier on the end.

GetCaughtDead

technically, yes. but weight is negligible in what I was saying. inertia and leverage are two separate aspects. the leverage issue is moot when both wheels are the same size.

Tomas

Most changes in wheel size do not change the outside diameter of the wheel/tire assembly,
and if it does change that, it changes it in a very minor way. A properly done change of wheel
diameter requires a matching change in sidewall height:

whats a good light weight rims to buy?

Pannyman

getting back to the subject should I have any problems with these rims?

tirerack.com detail

I also have a 2" drop

Need help(I am about to buy them asap)

No, unless not being flush is a problem

Tomas is pretty much right on, as usual. Something to note is that tires having higher speed ratings are often lighter, with thinner sidewalls and tread to better dissipate heat. Tires designed for track use are very much that way, but a poor choice for normal driving, as the sidewalls are fragile and won't take any abuse at all. And that's something to remember wrt wheels, as well. Banging up against a curb in icy conditions can scrape a standard rim or even a middle weight alloy rim- do the same with ultra-lights, and you'll be back buying a new one, 'cause it'll be bent...

Those lightweight wheels are brittle. Hit a curb and they will chip or break. That's why it's best not to stretch a narrow tire on them. I would recommend 205/55-15s. With a 2" drop, those tires might rub, but search around the forum and I'm sure you'll find some cars with that combination.

Those will fit no problem. Only thing is that black with polished lip wheels are way over played out.

If money is an issue, I would suggest Konig Heliums - only 11.4lb each and $85 each vs. $232 each for the wheels you posted a link to. These wheels will fit the Xb perfectly.

You have it the wrong way, it is smaller rotating diameters are easier to turn. go back to your lesson on torque.
