With any kit I would suggest 18's. It just looks so much better with a kit. Unless you're more performance oriented, then get the 17's.
Bottom line, 17's will loook good, but the 18's will look even better IMO. :thumbup:

I got 18 and regretted it - 17 is better, unless you want very low profile tires. In my experience, weight is important, but outside diameter is absolute key. If the diameter is too big it will mess with your gearing ratios and the power band shifts very unfavorably. Use a tire calculator (http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html) to make sure the new outside diameter is equal or lower.
