17's or 18's

Which rim diameter would be better on the 04 civic 17x7 inch rim or a 18x7.5 inch rim. I want the 18s becase they look so good but i dont want to sacrifice driveability and performance even though 18's are going to weigh more.

Here is a link to the rims im gunna get. I think that the gun metal rims will go well with the magnesium paint.

I wish i could get the real volks but they are like $2,000

I have 17's, they drive great, ride quality sucks compared to stock, but they don't look as good as 18's? Then again they would look fine if my car was lower.

17's are perfect. anything bigger is too much, imo.
