assuming you use the same kind of tyre and that they dont have any out of the norm massive differences in how they're built between those two sizes, i would go for the 16 just because theres a slight chance it will be lighter and you wouldnt miss the slight difference in turn in response. but if you are after the absolute best handling between those two, id go with the 17 for a shorter sidewall.

I think this month's motor trend addressed the rim size issue.
I have 17s. Major ride difference than 16s. Maybe slower tho. It's ok, Maximas are slow anyways unless u spend $$$.

for better performance get the 16's since they will most likely be lighter.
