Several advantages of going with new 17s for winters:
- you can have a narrower tire and a taller profile
- you can go with a square set (as opposed to staggered) so you can rotate
- savings on tire replacement cost over the long run
- less weight

Advantage of 18s
- lower cost initially since you're only buying a set of tires since you already have wheels. (but going forward replacement 18" tires will be more than 17").
- looks perhaps. 18s generally look better than 17s (but that can be wheel specific too)
