The ride quality over bumps and potholes have a direct relation to rims size. The bigger rim the smaller amount of tire sidewall that can absorb bumps.
If you lower it will be even worse.

Larger rims has almost only bad things about it:
lesser top speed
increase in fuel consumption
more roadnoise
easier dent in the rim
risk of scratching rim while parking

Larger rims is only about looks. Unless you drive frequently on a track.
Maybe you can find decent 17" rims you like?
