Help me Decide on Rim Size and tires... opinions appreciated

So i am going to buy a set of Moda R6 rims.. i am alittle torn on what size I should get..

Should I get 17's? would be safer when dirivng int he city, i dont want to kill my wheel right away

or should i get 18"'s? They look freakin HOT!!!!!! thats thye only reason iw ould get them.. i would be scared i would bend them or crack them tho since there limited sidewall on the tire

i live in Ma, so i will be also purchasing winter tires to put on my old rims...

Now on to tires...

so far i have narrowed it down to Three Tires::

1.) Yokohoma Parada Spec 2's ($142/tire)
2.) Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 ($118/tire)
3.) Toyo Proxies Fz7 ( cant remeber the exact model)($142/tire)

can u guys give me some suggestions on what i should pick?

go big, this is a big investment and you don't want to later think, "How would my car look with 18s or 19s?" I know I sometimes think about having 19s even though I have 18s. But I think 18 is a happy medium. My 2cents.
