17" vs 18" wheels (not a tire thread)

Now, I probably should post this in the racing section but this one gets the most traffic and it would be nice to have a " general discussion" about wheel size. So I have a Boxster S (there's that S again) that I occasionally track. It has 18" wheels with decent street tires which seem to be okay on the track Won't name them, it's not a tire thread. There's been some mention of using 17" wheels on the track: tires less expensive, etc.
Okay, so can we dicuss the merits/drawbacks of 17" vs 18" wheels with their proportionate tires on the Boxster ( or 986, or Porsche Roadster, or Ssssss, haha)
No, seriously though.
