I have an 01 SE and upgraded the wheels to 17" Aeros. I ended up taking a "30 day test drive" on a set of W rated Kumho ASX in the 215/50-17 size. They felt a bit rough but the shop also wasn't getting the balance quit right. I then went to another shop with a Hutter balancer and tried a set of Bridgeston Potenza G009. They are H rated and feel much smoother right off the bat. The sidewall flex felt nearly the same as the W rated Kumhos. They actually look much better too. The one issue with the size is that a 215/50 is actually 25.5" high to your 225/45's 25.0. That 1/2" may make a difference on a Aero which is lower than an SE by 3/8".
