Some thoughts

The smaller the diameter of the wheel, the more room the tire has to flex and the better it will absorb bumps without allowing the bump to penetrate to the wheel itself. If you live where potholes are frequent, beware.

The general rule is $700-750 for 17" wheels on fleabay with good tires (sold some at $700, bought some at $750). But that price implies there is no curb rash. Deduct at least $150 for the rash. Get it fixed before you can to get a faster sale and recover the $.

People will buy the 17' wheels for snow tires at the right time of year.
