If you want to go fast without changing out the brake calipers, 17" ones are the best. If you have the early "base auto", you can go 16"(they come with 16" wheels from the factory, actually).
18" is a good compromise between aesthetics and practicality(performance, gas mileage, etc.).
19" is for blings only for the most part unless you go forged, which is big money. A brand new R3 wheel can cost about US$1000+ nowadays each and even used ones in good conditions can cost a good amount of money.
And even with forged wheels, there are more mass towards the outside of the wheels, which increase their rotational inertia, which translates to less acceleration and even crappier fuel economy.
