18s are actually faster on the track, the car becomes more sensitive, and thus requires a more experienced driver. BMI tested them on a 350z.
17 and 15 are the most popular, 15s for the miata/hondas, 17s for evo/sti/350z etc. Tires are always cheaper in 15 and 17 hehe.
BTW, I do think that picking wheels then tires is wrong, but when you find a good deal... you work with what you have.
I hear continental ExtremeContact DW is a very good tire for the price.
