OX had 17" wheels on his first Indy, worth dropping him a U2U.

If its all about looks 17's are great, but if you want ultimate grip and handling 13" is the way to go, especially in a bec, lighter the
better, sticky tyres are cheaper as well, which is worth
considering as they dont last long.

If you want your Indy to handle well you should keep the wheel size to 15" or below.
17" wheels are heavy and will give you poor ride quality and a skittish ride that will tend to break traction very quickly (maybe sending you
into a hedge...)
17" may look nice but why hinder the car with poor ride and handling?
