ive just had the same dilemma, actually wanted 17s due to hearing the 18s were a harsh ride but i couldnt get what i wanted in 17" so i got 18s and although they havnt been on long they dont feel too bad and i think they look awesome.

you could ideally do with trying both sizes before you make a decision

As Aztec said, 18s for looks and 17s for handling.

I have 18s and the ride is so much harsher than the 17s on my wifes car!
