Ok,
17s - usually heavier, tyres more expensive, less tread potentially, may be defectable depending on cop, sluggish performance + handling (according to dc2 owner).
16s - opposite all the above.
Go 16s, with right lowering, they will look the right size, and you will most likely retain performance, and more than likely improve handling due to the thinner sidewall/wieight of the rim. all about equilibrium.
