Tire Choices & Cost. The choices for 17s are plentiful and the cost is cheaper.
Weight. The weight of a 17" wheel + tire is usually (at least a little) < than the weight of an 18"+ combination.
Aesthetics. This is subjective. The 18s are probably the sweet spot, but I like the way 17s look better than 19s.
Square. I prefer a square set up over staggered. Probably another whole topic by itself.
I am a function over form guy -- How it works is more important than how it looks.
