Hi, I'm in NYC too and I have 18's on my 2004 S. I wanted the stock 17's for the same reasons, but the car I had to take off the lot (ordering period was closed, the car in stock was 90% of what I wanted) had 18's. Overall I haven't had an issue. There was one time on the Van Wyck expressway (I try to say off it) I hit a huge lump at the head of the exit ramp, it couldn't be avoided. I was certain the rim and tire were damaged. As I drove the car after the "impact" it felt normal. So, I continued to drive (the Van Wyck isn't a very friendly road for pulling over). When I got home I closely inspected the rim (front right). All that was there was a small chip in the finsh of the rim....I felt lucky.
Anyway, the 18's have been fine, they look great and have proven to be durable.
Good luck with your box....great choice!
