Here is my dilemma: Recently, I hit a pothole on a road on the closer to gloucester side of yorktown (bastards filled it in the next day so I couldn't get a picture). I was in traffic, the car in front of me hit it, and it took me by surprise. This pothole broke my front right 18" wheel (well, cracked it), and bent the rear right wheel, enough to where air leakes out slowly. My front left was already bent from hitting one of those wierd raised up mounds between pieces of road on the highway.

Because of this I am buying 4 new wheels, of a different brand. Should I go with 16"s, or 17"s though? I want something that looks great, yet wont bend or break like my 18"s did.

Please help!
Which should I buy?
