ok, i'll hit you up. with 17's and a ridiculous 4 inch drop, your car most likely rides like trash. and say bye bye to your tires because a normal alignment cannot correct that. if you want advice, i advice you to raise your car back to the original height and start over.

the 17's aren't trash, it's the combination with a 4 inch drop is what's trash. 17's with up to a about a 2 inch drop and a good alignment are exceptional.

you don't need new wheels, you need to fix your ride height, unless you prefer a 4 inch drop.
