18's with minor drop

I had 18's and I think they were the perfect size for the FA, however they look a little big on the FG's.

if all you care about is looks go with the 18's anything to reduce that hideous wheel gap. From a performance aspect you want a wheel that just clears the brake caliper. Even though the wheel you are getting may be lighter but the heaviest part of the wheel tire combo is usually the tire and the further you push this weight away from the axis the more performance takes a hit. Acceleration is decreased and braking distances are increased even though you may have a wider tire too.

I am sticking with 17's to leave the door open for a slightly larger (bling) brake option otherwise I'd drop down to a 16"

Looks good, but I do not see why you had to post three times to make you point.
