Default 17" or 18" alloy wheels
My standard alloys have the usual honda corrosion problem so I'm going to replace them for some aftermarket ones, but I cant decide on weather to go for 17's or 18's. I have seen a few 18's for sale but no 17's. The 18's will look better but the question is will they affect the handling and acceleration in a negative way?? 17's however ,in theory at least, shouldnt make too much of a difference to handling should they???

17" for go, 18" for show.

The reason that there are no 17" wheels for sale as that they usually sell quicker than 18" wheels.

If you are patient you may be able to find some for a good price

Having had three S's and four different sets of aftermarket alloys I have to agree with StevenM & the Volks thing as well
