But for road i would def go for 18.
But the driving is perfect you feel the lightness of the wheel. And acceleration is a tidy bit better. For racing perfect the 17inch for road i would go 18inch.

I know that everyone goes for 18" these days, but I actually like to see some tirewall on a rim. Also a rim that is wide compared to its height looks better to me, these 17x8.5 wheels have a lot of depth without being excessively wide.
And for road use, the roadholding/comfort ratio is very important to me (we have rough roads i bad shape here), and there the lighter 17" with the higher tire wall do a better job. Dynamically speaking there is no reason to have ultralowprofile tyres either.
Just explaining my reasoning for going for 17"...
Actually, I don't even now if 17" fits over the 135i front brake caliper, anybody know?
