Ok, I just switched back from my snow tires/rims back to my stock rims and tire. With the crummy roads where I live, my ride just got a lot rougher. I hate to say it, but I miss the ride on my winter 17's. Do I dare get a set of 17's for summer too?

whatever floats your boat...

17" wheels are cheaper to tire, all things being equal.

I went with 17" with all-season that I run daily. I use my OEM wheels for autocrossing only (since they have a set of V710's on them).

Your gear ratio will be lower and you will be much faster.

Not necessarily...

Keep your tire OD at 25.7 and the gear ratio will not change. 245/45R17 or 275/40R17 would be good choices.
