While 18's look better in my opinion, 17's are the way to go. Best compromise of light weight, tire costs, and wheel protection(larger sidewalls for more cushion against potholes and such) all while looking good.

What do you want more? 17" or 18"? Just tell us so we can tell you what you want to hear.

18" will only make you feel better. It may actually hurt your performance and give you a much harsher ride.

I got 16"s because I'm cheap. Tires are so much cheaper. And the wheels are lighter. I honestly don't think the 55 profile 16"s are that big either. I just need to lower the car.
