Default 17" or 18" which one?

Going to order some wheels soon, which size would look best on the s2? I'm going to keep my stock wheels for the track but I do like to enjoy a little bit of spirited driving every once in awhile haha. From what I remember, the 18" ce28n weigh about 15-17lbs.

18s look best imo but 17s should perform better (slightly)

If you have 17's to trow R-comps on go for the 18.

I did go for 18" ce28 and i love it. only thing that alitle frustrating is that r-comps its alot more expencive for em.

18s look too big on our cars. 17s perform better.

18s may look better, but for the amount of $ you're spending on a set of Volk, that's too much just for the look. I've seen plenty of people who regret going up to 18s.
