Consider the price difference between 16s and 17s for wheels and tires. Could this money be put to things that might have a more profound impact on handling, such as suspension upgrades?
I haven't done any research on this, but I bet there's more variation in handling quality amongst the different choices of tires out there any a fixed size versus going even more low-pro wheels.
I know the fad is for ultra low pro, but I'm going the opposite way ever since I hit a pot hole and distorted a 16" rim!
