I think you want to stick to 17's. You could go with 18's, but you better use pretty low profile tires. It's best to keep overall wheel diameter at least close to stock for best performance.

I have 16"s on my FC, and everyone thinks they are 17"s because of the small size of the car, and the design of the wheel (Enkei)

16's are light (without being expensive like SSR's or other lightweight 17/18 inch wheels) and have a huge tire selection. Not to mention cheaper tires, and it's oh so easy to ruin 17 or 18 inch wheels on the streets.
