I am thinking about changing my wheels and tires out to some new stuff. As I look though Magazine's and the net I seem to only find 16" & 17" wheels and not any 16" like on my car. Do I want to go to the bigger size wheel and get a lower profile tire, if so why?

I meant 17" and 18"wheels on web sites

 

It's a matter of personal preference, mainly, although larger wheels are with low profile tires are less forgiving over rough pavement, delivering a somewhat harsher ride.

An important item to consider, though, is if you do upgrade to 17" you'd better have the caster blocks changed to the 968 version, or the bushings on your stock units will quickly bust and compromise your alignment and handling in turns.

The parts to upgrade cost around $200.

 

You should buy these:
