17s are the best size. These people are used to 20's or something. Our cars came with 15 and 16 rims and 17. 17 is very good. 18 your really increasing your unsprung weight. and always remember need some better shocks for that extra weight.
Big wheels most of the time are worthless. IHMO

18s are the way to go. 17s aren't bad, and generally look the same as 18s. No matter what you want your wheel wells filled, so regardless of what size you get, they will look like crap if you don't fill that wheel well.
Also, the guy asking about staggered look (17 in front, 18 back)--Don't do it. Vettes do this because their wheel wells are made for it. F-bodies look best when you have the same wheel diameter front and back.

I like 17s personally, better traction, more tire options, lower cost.....i currently have 18's on the car at the moment, lol. but my next set will be 17's
