17s, better tire sizing too. I would get some experience with 17s before you step up to 18s. Do you have any experience at all?

18<17<16

Less weight = better response accelerating and braking.

As stated above, 17" much better sizing. You can mix & match much more easily. Many 17's are perfect for OEM overall diameter match. But so are 16's. In fact, 16 can be lighter, as good or better gripping, and cheaper usually.

Us real ol' skool ballers roll on 18's cuz. You rock 16's cuz yo' bank account to young. See me when it gro' up. Mine says 'One zero, zero, zero, 'o' dub'. -Jay Z.

Just playin' with all that, but IMO 16 is just too small cause it look nasty. 18's look hella fine, but may not be the best weight and ratio wise. It's like effectively decreasing the final drive ratio. 17's might be the sweet spot. Don't look to gay, don't suck for performance. Jigga, I do' like it if it do' bling bling... sorry there I go again.

I roll 18's. I love them! Just put the factory's on for the winter. Didn't notice a whole lot of difference, but I'm not saying there wasn't any.17's are probally the best route to go but I personally think 18's LOOK the best. Mate them up to some 26535R18's out back and 23540R18's up front.
