As Klaus said, if you want to look cool, buy another tire.
If you want your tires to last more than a few thousand miles, and not have your car and your spine shaken to bits, go for the 17" wheels and tires. There's probably some teenybopper with a large allowance who'll be glad to pay you more for the eighteens than you'll pay for a set of good 17's at the junkyard plus your tires.
Unless you're into really risky driving, BTW, the Michelin Hydroedge is a decent all-weather ride, quiet, and not terribly expensive; also has a helluva goodmileage rating. I just put a set on my S70 a few months ago, and am clam-happy, including driving in a sudden 20" snow and the aftermath.
