2011 bmw 335i xdrive coupe tires suggestion

Hey guys, i really need your guys help as i'm not even close to an expert on this by any means. Trying to get there however!
So i have a 2011 bmw 335i xdrive coupe and i need a set of new wheels (tire and rim). I'm thinking of going with the 18's instead of the 17's which is the stock size for the car because of the wheel gap. I will not be lowering the car right now as i'm not looking to pay for that at the moment and i will revisit that another time. That leads me on to the next part of the question, since i won't be lowering the car i've noticed a lot of people saying it's ridiculous putting after market rims on a stock suspension setup so i' thinking to purchase oem wheels and plastic dip them. It is a every day car so i want the drive to remain pretty smooth so i'll be ditching run flats. and handling is pretty important for me as well. What do you guys think? Is going from 18s to 17s a good decision? There shouldn't be any problem doing that should there? Also what do you think about the oem vs after market rims situation? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!
