I would opt for the TC wheels over the Matrix wheels. The Matrix 17" wheels weigh 26lbs and the TC 17" wheels are only 18lbs. Going from 15" to 17" wheels you are already losing some gas mileage and power due to the weight being move further out. That extra 8lbs per wheel will have a negative effect on gas mileage and throttle feel/responsiveness.
