17 inch vs 18 inch

I know I'm Guna get jumped at with "do research" "search button is over there" "uh I hate it when people want to be spoon fed" but I'm Guna post it anyways because I want recent opinions on this topic

Recently, I plasti dipped my rims I fell in love with the way they looked. I'm currently shopping for a set of Michelin pilot super sports. I could afford new rims but I really like the way the oem rims turned out plasti dipped and glossified.

If I was to buy new rims, I would definitely buy 18 inch t37 reps.

Which brings me to my question. From all the research I did about upsizing tires, the benefits are "they look good and fill the wheel well" which I don't care for as I'm getting flex z coilovers next month or so and "better handling" which is questionable because the car already has good handling. Wouldn't bigger tires make it sloppy due to the fact that the car doesn't have that much power thus ruining the ride?

Also, wouldn't the 0-60 time decrease as a result of big tires? Aren't you also gaining weight by putting bigger tires?

Has anyone put 17 pss on their oem rims?

Again, I don't mind buying new rims as I have the budget for it but at the same time, id rather spend it on something more useful.

Thanks for reading my post!
