I don't expect a big difference from going from 18's to 17's, assuming both at 235mm footprint that's just a 7% increase in profile. If you were changing from 20" rims or even 19's it would be much more noticeable - forum member Moose Test has done just that and was happy with the result I think. Most people who fit the 17" Neptune wheels do so as there is a greater choice and better value selection of winter, all season and off road biased tyres available.

Is you car R-Design spec? If so then I'd sell it and get an SE LUX.... (if ride is very important to you).
