I want the looks, but Performance is 1st. So we'll see ;)

Just take a ride in a car with 17's and 40's you'll see what I mean it's not the numbers that matter it is the fact that the sidewall has to be super stiff to make sure that your rim is not damaged when you hit potholes and such, the 45's are ok and a OE pick for some manufactures but again you have to experience yourself to understand. Most performance tires that would mount up on such rims are going to be louder and will grip the road better I know that is what they are supposed to do..but driving down a grooved road they will pull the car around a bit..not trying to steer you into another rim size, just inform you. I prefer my cars setup for backroad driving which are usally on poorly maintained roads so I need a little cush in the sidewall (I have bent too many 17's with 40 series tires) and a performance suspension that is not super stiff as corners at speed will bounce you all over the place if there is nothing that give on your ride!

Ysrdgn had a good compromise with the 16" rims and 45 series sidewalls
