These 17" Lightstars are 15 lb. and $480 shipped (though tires will probably be more expensive).

Am I right in generally preferring a 16" wheel? Everyone seems to have 17" wheels, and I can't decide if it's just looks or if there is a performance value as well. Someone please enlighten me.
I think 17's are pretty common now in the tire market. They may be alittle more than the 16's but I dont think it is verry much and would say I like the 17's
