It's up to you man....I have 15' rims and they're going to be wrapped in Kuhmos come Friday.
I think 15's look good....I like the bigger wheels as well, but some look to big and goudy, so I decided to be different and stick with the stock size. And dude, don't kid yourself, 18" wheels will slow you down to the point to where you will be able to tell.

I don't mind them. I'm getting 16's because the tires are alot cheaper. It's all a matter of taste, I guess.
The smaller the wheel, the better the take off, but the slower the top speed. It's your choice. Do you want fast off the line or a higher top end speed?

anything above 16 will lag your jump off the line, i know i know you think that if they are the same wieght it wont matter but it does, ive owned cars with many size rims some just as light or lighter than stock and if you go bigger than 16 you WILL start to feel a difference, its all depends on what you wanna do, SHOW or Go
It's not only the weight of the rim, it's also the circumference of the larger rim and tire.
The smaller the wheel, the quicker it turns....simple physics. I'm not a big fan of the larger rims either,
but they do look nice if it's the right car and right wheel....but I've seen some that look like complete azz.
I like my 15" Konigs.....and the 15" Si rims look nice as hell too !! I'm gonna get a set just to put them on when
I'm bored : )

Khaos3001 said it best...I chose 16 because i really liked the rims and that the biggest they had..but it all depends on show or go...but i do see alot of cars at the track with 17's and 18's running great times...but their 60' is slower than it should be..
