It is true that it is easier to damage your rims the lower the profile of the tire.
I considered getting 18s also but decided on 17s for my car. Every inch in diameter will cost you about another $100 per wheel and $50-$100 per tire (I go through a lot of tires). Also, if you have a stiff handling suspension, the lower your tire profile the harsher the ride.
