Rims - 16" or 17" - Pro's & Con's?

[[J]]

I've got an EK VTi-R which has currently got the stock 15" rims on it and I'm currently looking for a new set of rims, however I'm not sure whether to go for 16's or 17's?..

I'm trying to come up with the pro's and con's for each and have so far thought of the following -

16" -
- Cheaper tyres
- Smoother ride?
- Better handling?
- Do they look too small though at stock height?

17" -
- Fill the arches out better
- However will the ride/ handling suffer?

The car is not/ will not be lowered at the moment and is purely used as a street car - so track work or anything like that does not really play a part in my decision.

So ideally, I guess what I am after is a size that will look good at stock ride height, but will also not have too much of a negative effect on the ride/ handling quality of the car..

If anyone has had experience with the above, or currently has 16's or 17's and can offer any input, please post your comments.

Thanks!
