About the 18"'s
We swent through the same decision on our '06'. The 18's won mainly on appearance. I've driven both and had not noticed a difference in steering response.
Keep one thing in mind on the 17"s, because they are only 6.5" wide, your tire options to fit that front wheel are very narrow--there are very few max perf. tires in 205-55-17 sizes. Comparing that to the 235-40-18, there are quite a few different tires available from BFG, Michelin, Bridgestone and Goodyear to name a few.
Also, look on Ebay for the price of Takeoffs for 987's, the 17's have gone for as low as $800 + shipping. If you get the 18's and don't like them, you can always sell them and pretty much get your $ out of them
BTW, have you considered the Sport seats? they are a great value (@$770) if you were considering auto-x or track days.
