Hello there, I see you're from Daly City. Not too far away! :)
17's - Performance oriented, ligher weight.
18's - Looks oriented, heavier weight.
You don't sacrifice toooo much performance on 18's as long as you get a meaty tire setup and don't sacrifice too much sidewall height.

I say 18"s they fit the wheel well but like Corey said the weight will be more.

Mind posting a picture of your Z since you're local and I'd know who to look out for? ^ ^
Also, have I added you to BayZa yet?
