My '91 Miata ...

.. had 15" wheels, and the handling was incredible. Large diameter wheels are largely cosmetic, and, as mentioned by a previous poster, are more susceptible to damage from potholes and curbs, and make for a stiffer ride.
My 9-5 Aero has 17" wheels, but I run 16" wheels in the winter. I find the ride/handling with the performance-oriented 16" winter tires to be more fitting to the car than the 17-inchers. Still good steering response and handling, but more pleasant on rough NY roads.
Enjoy the new Miata!! It's one of the best cars in the world, IMO ..
