18 inches vs. 17 inches?

[Hutski]

Hello

I am thinking of upgrading the rims on my JCW to 18 inch rims (JCW Black R113).

As this is my first mini I am interested to hear peoples thoughts on 18 inch rims vs 17 inch rims? Ride, handling, etc?

Thanks

On a like-for-like tyre, I reckon the 17s grip better (especially on bumpy corners) while also riding better and being quieter.

Unfortunately, the 18s look better.

Thanks JME for your thoughts. I am going to stick with the 17inch rims

Cheers
