17s look a lot better but I bet they weigh more.

You should really only go for larger wheels if you can't fit your brakes in them but most do it for looks.

If it's only looks you are after then 17s look a lot better.

17's for looks and if you have/want larger brakes.

But you WILL lose ride quality.
