Go with the 18s. Keep the 17's and buy snow tires for the winter (if it snows near you). I drive with the 18s all year except the winter. The ride is a bit firmer, but you get that "tires stick like glue" feeling (particularly on the C4) that just isn't there with the 17" wheels.

The 17's are much better, however, for snow tires in the winter season.
