I think the Sport also comes with larger anti-sway bars too, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

If you want the bigger wheels, bigger tires, and bigger brakes, the Sport package is a great deal -- I would think you'd spend a lot more to upgrade a base model to a Sport than if you just get a Sport to begin with. If you only want the bigger wheels, and the rest doesn't matter, then the base would do just as well.
