Wheel size on a CRX...

Ok, i was wondering whawt the optimal wheel size would be for great handling aswell as great launch for dragging? i was thinking 16's because they worked well for my civic. but i really wanted to get those 17 inch work rims in bronze on a black slammed rex...taht would looked hot...but i don't know what the performance would be like that...what do you guys think? got with the 16 work rims? or can i go with the 17's if i have enough power?
