I'm curious if the larger wheels change how the car handles. Thanks again gang! Newbie questions, LOL

Mirage trim levels are very confusing. For example, the ES was the top trim level for 2014-15. Then in 2017 the ES became the base trim level.
During the 2017-20 model years, the ES, LE, SE, & GT were common trim levels. ES = 14" steel wheels, LE = 15" black alloy, SE = 14" alloy, & GT = 15" alloy wheels. I think that all changed in 2021. An older SE would have had factory 14" alloy wheels. When the GT was dropped & the SE became the top trim level, it finally got the 15" alloy wheels.
Some Mirage owners will run 175/65r14 (23" outside diameter) tires on their 14" rims, & some will run 185/55r15 (23" outside diameter) wheels on their 15" rims. A 14" & 15" Mirage wheel will be the same basic outside diameter. A 15" rim will give you more rim & less tire sidewall, which may improve handling.
